Webster Takes Pay Cut

START WORKING ON THE EXTENSIONS FOR LEVI AND STEINBACH

I hear you Gru.

Best ciphering I can do, Bengals need to have about $4 mill clear to extend both Steinbach and Levi if they'll take Joe Andruzzi and Jonas Jennings deals. Could be $1 mill or so less if 1st year salary of Levi deal is lower than an even spread over contract.

Steinbach: 6 year $14 mill w/ $3 mill SB

Levi: 6 year $30 mill w/ $10 mill SB

I say Steinbach first, but Levi is positioning himself for a major statement about his value this year. The longer the wait for either, the more it will cost later once the season starts if these 2 come out of the chute strong.
