Stacey Andrews signed his $7.5 million one-year contract tender as Cincinnati’s Franchise Player. This makes Stacey Andrews the highest paid backup in the history of the NFL. In all of pro sports, actually.
Bengals owner and General Manager, Mike Brown, justified the Andrews signing by saying, “Our longheld policy of investing the bulk [...]
