Giovani Bernard
The Bengals love Bernard. Really, everyone loves Bernard.
But one could argue the front office paid up too much when giving him a two-year extension worth $9.7 million. The market for backs keeps shifting and it’s looking like a bad deal for a guy who doesn’t see a ton of usage.
Consider this — the Bengals need to pay up dearly to prevent a Joe Mixon holdout. They also just added Jacques Patrick on a three-year pact.
Another team wouldn’t mind paying Bernard this cash while using him more.
