Al di là della puttanata in rosso, non è un problema da poco su cui riflettere.

Talking Contract ExtensionsWe know it's premature for a team heading into week five at 3-1, but
once this season is over and the Bengals are being celebrated with a parade near Paul Brown Stadium following their return from New Orleans 
, Cincinnati's front office will have decisions to make. Guys like Andre Smith, Michael Johnson, Manny Lawson, Nate Clements, Mike Nugent, Rey Maualuga, Robert Geathers, Adam Jones will all be free agents after this season.
Now take into account Cincinnati's free agents in 2014; it's always a good practice to sign your best players before they enter their final season under contract. Some of those players currently include Geno Atkins and Carlos Dunlap. And 2015 will be another big year with Andy Dalton, A.J. Green, Jermaine Gresham and Clint Boling.
Logic dictates that Cincinnati focuses their priority with players like Andre Smith, Geno Atkins, Carlos Dunlap, Andy Dalton and A.J. Green; not all of them this year, but definitely before their respective contract seasons. In Smith's case, it's more immediate because he's playing the final season after the Bengals declined a two-year option before 2011. Needless to say Mike Brown and the front office will be dishing out the cash.
Currently the Bengals are $15.2 million under the salary cap; a figure that many fans have often slammed the Bengals for. However that number will also increase after this season when Robert Geathers' contract is off the books. And we suspect that Andrew Whitworth won't play out the remainder of his current deal, which expires after 2015. Settle down. We're thinking a team-friendly extension that offers more incentives. On the other hand we're not accounting for younger players receiving significant raises, such as Andrew Hawkins and Vontaze Burfict.
Obbiettivamente Smith e Johnson li affronterei subito. Poi sotto col tag a Nugent...
