0:00On March 31st, the Cincinnati Bengals just resigned Joe Flacco to a one-year deal worth $6 million, but they tacked on two void years at the end, turning it into what looks like a three-year contract on the books. This set up gives Flacco a cap hit of $3.3 million this season, with another $2.7 million pushed to 2027. As a void year, plus incentives, if he logs serious playing time. Unlike their deals for Boy and Mayfay and Bryan Cook, where they kept cap hits up front, the Bengals went sneaky here because Flacco's more of a short term. Vett, not a long haul investment. Most teams around the league steer clear of these void tricks, calling your risky business, but Cincinnati thrives on that future cap flexibility it. Creates. In the end, this move keeps their books nimble. Maybe even opening doors for summer extensions on guys like DJ Turner while they stay steps ahead in. The cap game.
