Is he a big time talent? No, not really, not even close actually. But, that is what we get when the Bengals go bargain shopping (dumpster diving) in an effort to avoid paying real money to a position that they just don't value. Stone was the beneficiary of playing on a supremely orchestrated Raven's defense and he got some lucky INTs one year, that is all. Nothing about his game even entice the Ravens to offer him a second contract. Mike Brown and Co.? Oh, hell yeah, we love that guy...

Did he make more money in the first year of the deal?

When he signed I remember thinking it was an overpay.


Edit:

Nevermind I looked it up. He agreed to reduce his salary this year down from just under $6.5 mil for this year.

Seems like the Bengals thought they overpaid him.
