Let me ask you...if you knew your new offered salary was about 70% of your peers and they perform at about the same level as you, would you consider that close enough?
I think if the Bengals were offering $35 mill APY, that's much closer to being "fair," but $28 mill is too far off the contracts that Watt and Garrett got. And their production and age are about the same as Hendrickson, so that can't really be an excuse.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
