The Bengals have picked up the 5th year option on their left tackle, Jonah Williams, selected No. 11 overall in 2019. He has missed a lot of time with injuries, but played well last season.
POLL: Will TT Pick Up Tillery's 5th Year Option?

I don't look at the DT position as a two man position. I think it takes four because those bug dudes run out of gas after a few plays. So in my way of looking at it, Tillery is our number three of the four man rotation. He's also the best pass rusher.
One way or other I look for Tillery to be back and I expect him to be important to our pass rush. Maybe a new contract, maybe they'll just pick up the option, but I expect him back.THE YEAR OF THE FLIP!

Originally posted by Velo View PostI say no. TT will not pick up Tillery's 5th year option, based on Tillery's performance in his first three seasons. Telesco has to make the decision in the next few days, and I believe Tillery's 2022 and 23 salaries would be guaranteed. He is set to earn just over $2 mil this season; if Telesco picks up the option, Tillery would get paid $13 mil for his 2022 & 23 salaries. He has not earned that, IMO.

Originally posted by Velo View PostTelesco/Staley are cutting it close to the wire. The deadline to exercise the option is tomorrow. I wonder if they will take this long to decide on Herbert next year.
Why tell him 4 weeks ago that they had absolutely zero inclination to extend him?
If Chaincrusher was the GM, he'd go so far as to tell Tillery that he probably won't make the roster
because he's a waste of a roster spot.:goofylol:
Bulaga redux.....waiting to the last second to do something everyone knows is the eventual outcome.
