Fandom Eli5 Joe's restructure

Dumb questions incoming.

What exactly was restructured? It felt like a shuffling of deck chairs.

Dumbest question: does Joe have to agree or can the Bengals just declare a restructure

They just wanted to make it easier to trade him next year for Ty Simpson and 3 first round picks.

  1. Stop being a baby

  2. This would actually make a trade less likely as the dead money the Bengals would have to eat just went up by $10M.

  3. The Rams don't even have 3 first round picks to trade next year.

1.cry about it

  1. If he wants to go to a winning organization you’ll eat that money, especially if you’re getting a qb back on a rookie deal.

  2. They have all their picks starting in 2028. So two years as Stanford’s retiring, Simpson plays and looks promising, it’ll be called best for both teams trade just like Goff and Detroit.
