Need to get DJ’s extension this off-season inked before the price tag moves up on him.
DJ Turner’s progression:
PFF 2023 – OVR 51.5 (NFL 109th), CVG 48.4 (NFL 111th)
PFF 2024 – OVR 67.8 (NFL 65th), CVG 68.4 (NFL 55th)
NFL 5th in force incompletion rating
NFL 10th in QB passer rating when targeted
PFF 2025 – OVR n/a, CVG 78.1 (NFL 6th)
Stats through today:
2023 – 12 GS, 50 tackles (37 solo), 7 PDs, 0 INTs
2024 – 6 GS, 29 tackles (23 solo), 8 PDs, 0 INTs
2025 – 8 GS, 23 tackles (15 solo), 14 PDs, 2 INTs

Would to much sense. So it won’t happen
Best they can do is string him along with franchise tags and then let him walk with no compensation
Cause that’s would have totally worked out with CTB
We need a annual Bengals contract storyline brother
They’ll wait till the market sky rockets
I got a better idea what if we tag him 2 years straight then let him go
He’s great. A competent front office would absolutely get it done early
They can’t offer him anything until next summer per the league bylaws (they wont)
We’ve got him at least two more years cheap, even IF we were gonna sign him early, next season would be the year to do it.
So by sign him, you mean string him along for a few years with insulting offers, franchise tag him so it creates locker room drama, and then eventually let him walk for nothing while his replacement on the roster never comes close to his level? The wheels are already turning my guy.
Sorry Katie doesn’t work in season. They never to extensions during season. Idk if they just don’t have enough people to do all the different tasks or it’s a self imposed restriction
Where’s that picture of him giving up the game winning touchdown pass from a RB to a rookie TE in the Jets game?
He’s represented by Athlete’s First, and while not specifically by David Mulugheta, that is Mulugheta’s agency. So I doubt getting him signed this offseason or at any “discount” is unlikely.
We definitely should. Will we….fuck no!
Duke Tobin shouldn’t be allowed to handle player contracts anymore. Or allowed into the office.
The eagles would. The Bengals won’t because it increases risk (injury, of the field crap, etc). You sign him now and that signing bonus money is committed now. Wait two years and it will be more expensive, yes. But also you’re not risking money being tied up in a player that might not be able to perform to the end of the rookie contract. They are the most risk averse team in the NFL.
if he asks for over 60% his market value theyll let him walk
There’s a good chance he will walk like Bates
