CINCINNATI — Bengals offensive tackle Amarius Mims is one of two rookies from the 2024 NFL Draft class that are still unsigned.
What could be holding things up?
After consulting with salary cap expert Andre Perrotta, bonus structure is a logical assumption.
Mims may want his $8 million signing bonus in one lump sum. Meanwhile, the Bengals may want to spread it out over a few different installments.
There’s a chance that some of the offset language attached to his bonuses are holding things up, but bonus structure is the most-likely dilemma.
Bengals rookies reported on Saturday and had their first workout on Sunday.
Vikings defensive end Dallas Turner is the only other unsigned member of the 2024 Draft class.
As long as Mims signs his deal before the first day of practice (Wednesday, July 24), then there’s no reason to be worried. A deal should get done in the near future.
