Thought no chance they took his name off. Bummer. lastly the payJoe t shirts and images are lame As fuck. We have made the last two starting qbs highest paid and top 3 paid there was never really a question of paying joe. Bengals always pay their own fairly and stick to deals. the cheap bengals bashing is based on 2001 eta bullshit about small towels and shit like that. Everyone bagged on about free agents. Which is also silly because they’ve had to overpay for free agents. They just chose better teams or cities. They weren’t low balled. lazy media and shit fans have made being a bengals fan worse than it should have been. but I’m rambling. One issue to keep in mind is a guaranteed contract has to have an escrow account that is fully funded past the first year of the contract. That used to not be a big deal but with this stupid Watson contract which will certainly push more agents to demand more of the money be guaranteed , we are now talking about BIG numbers. “That did not happen. But we may have hit a turning point with the Cleveland Browns and Deshaun Watson. For years, clubs have told agents that a main reason for not guaranteeing contracts was the “funding rule” – an archaic league rule that says teams must put into escrow an amount of money equal to what they are guaranteeing a player in any contract beyond the first year.” That means Cleveland has to put almost $200 mil into an escrow account. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’ll fix everything.” 😒 On revenues of 351, I think they are safe. Whole market is down right now in anticipation of a recession but it's weird because expected Job growth in the last report doubled what they thought it would be. Inflation is still hurting everyone but unless we start seeing job cuts that wont be fixed by anything the Fed is doing IMHO, we still have supply chain problems and just repatriating the supply so that we arent dependent on countries that have the goods we need isnt a quick answer, nor even one that is something investors are willing to do because of the uncertainty I have so many thoughts on the current situation but this will end up in the J&D thread if I express them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky151 Posted August 10 Report Share Posted August 10 22 hours ago, BlackJesus said: 1. I hate corporate sponsorships of stadiums with a passion. And I will personally never use any sponsor name if a historical name exists. 2. But I understand why the Bengals had to do this to cover the guaranteed bonuses of Burrow, Higgins, and Chase. Pay our core! 3. If you gave me the options of keeping the Paul Brown name but losing Burrow or Higgins as a result, I wouldn't take it. 4. The name could have been worse. The Squeelers got Acrisure, which sounds like a hemorrhoid cream. Paycor at least rolls off the tongue and has its HQ in Cincy. Though I would have preferred P&G. 5. The team should at least build a statue of Paul Brown outside the stadium to soften the blow. 6. A 16 year lease means the team can't relocate during that time I'd imagine. So that's a plus. 7. It will always be Paul Brown Stadium to me. Bengals can't relocate. Threats to do so would be meaningless so you haven't heard any from Mike Brown since PBS was built. The Modell law would require them to put the team up for sale before they could move. They won't do that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingspoint Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 When you lose $97M with revenue of only $357M that is one nasty ratio. You need an image enhancement and who better locally to attach your image to than the Bengals right now. Sounds like a pretty smart move to enhance employee retention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-GoBengals- Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 11 hours ago, Le Tigre said: I guess the next question would then be: what the hell would stadium naming rights money have to do with future signings of any players? unless someone has already mentioned it. all guaranteed money must be put in escrow for all contracts, and with what the browns just did, teams are freaking out, so this deal may be 16 years 10 mil a year for example they may have got half of the deal upfront, 80mil to use in escrow to fund guaranteed money for contracts. so unless the team had like 400 mil they want to just slap in escrow, then this is how they fund those deals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be pretty cool though, no question. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are other follow up questions (and again, understanding we aren’t privy to the board room), but will wait and read data which may be parceled out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted August 11 Report Share Posted August 11 Fuck em'. It will always be Paul Brown Stadium to me. The only good thing I can say about PayJoe is they are from Norwood.

The Brown family doesn't need to sell the naming rights to fund new contracts for Burrow and other players. Suppose they guarantee 200 mil in future years to Burrow. They could easily get a line of credit to fund that (and probably already have such in place). The NFL has large revenue streams so they aren't really a credit risk, it's just a matter of paying a little interest, likely 4-5% or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I mentioned it earlier but I think the monies from the naming rights are earmarked for the interest on loans needed for the upcoming guarantees; so the team will be cash flow neutral. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better, the option to pay interest on $200-400 mil or EARN interest on $200-400mil. Even at around 3% that 2 year treasuries are currently earning you are talking a difference of $12-24 million a year saved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
