Jason Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Was just about to post this. I love me some BP, but 6 years?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalRep85-9 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 If true $12M a year is about right, $15M was too much. It's great to see the team locking up the core but hope these deals don't hinder the team down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengals1181 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 so this would only make it a 5yr extension, no? Meaning the $72 million includes the $12 million he was getting paid this year. [url="https://twitter.com/#!/Ken_Rosenthal"][b]Ken Rosenthal[/b] [size=4][/size] [s]@[/s][b]Ken_Rosenthal[/b][/url] The Phillips deal with [url="https://twitter.com/#!/search/%23Reds"][s]#[/s][b]Reds[/b][/url] covers 2012 to '17.

Congrats BP [url="https://twitter.com/#!/joereedy"][b]Joe Reedy[/b][s]@[/s][b]joereedy[/b][/url] And BP turning into the player he's become with the Reds only proves yet again ... that God hates Cleveland and all of its sports fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalRep85-9 Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 So is it a 6 year extension kicking in next year or 6 years including this year as the rosenthal tweet points toward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first I thought it was a 6 yr extension. [/quote] yea its basically a 5yr $60 million extension. Phillips will be a little over 36 when the deal expires.[quote name='BengalRep85-9' timestamp='1334081776' post='1117147'] So is it a 6 year extension kicking in next year or 6 years including this year as the rosenthal tweet points toward?
