|Bengal Migration| Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 [quote name='claptonrocks' post='644703' date='Mar 20 2008, 09:18 AM']Chris Perry was the first pick of the Bengals in 2004.... They had five year contracts then...dont know if agents are signing them anymore.. This is his fifth season with the team.....[/quote] I *thought* I'd read where any season where he didn't play at all (like '07) did not count as a year served toward his contract. I honestly have no idea if this is correct, just repeating what I thought I'd heard (and hoping someone else knows for sure...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have known it was too good to be true.[/quote] No problem. That'd be like punishing the player for being injured. The team still pays the player the same amount during the season they are on IR for the duration, minus any performance escalators obviously.

Rick Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 So, that means Perry can walk away from the Bengals after this year. Great. Watch him have a great year then go somewhere else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a well-rounded, damn good piece of the puzzle, though.[/quote] cant argue with that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
