OSF Field at Paul Brown Stadium? Ace can start a Gofundme for that. We should easily have the cash by the end of camp.

#Bengals announce Paycor has been granted naming rights for what was previously Paul Brown Stadium.
Paul Brown’s name will be completely taken out of the name.
It’s now Paycor Stadium. This is a 16-year deal with a Cincinnati-based company.

There has been major headway made in dispelling ANY thought the Bengals could move over the expiring stadium lease (2026) and this is the most public, emphatic move yet.
This was a big deal for Mike Brown. He has long resisted taking his dad’s name off the stadium. But the revenue has never been higher with thier AFC champ profile and having the extra money never been more timely (Burrow escrow/indoor facility).

Brown said it best himself before the season started. The decision to do this now is about the new direction of the franchise with Burrow and, also, the renewed energy growing off the field provided by his granddaughter Elizabeth Blackburn.

The Bengals have been the organizational embodiment of “strike while the iron is hot” this offseason.

New sponsorships EVERYWHERE. Gates, practice fields, naming rights, etc. Taking full advantage of the Super Bowl run that made them as popular as any moment in thier history.

The only remaining stadiums without naming rights are Lambeau Field and Soldier Field.

PayJoe Stadium soon to be colloquially known as The House That Joe Renovated.

Some of you may already have known this. I was unaware of it until just a few weeks ago when the idea of selling the naming rights to Paul Brown Stadium became public knowledge.

When a player signs a contract with guaranteed money in it the entire guaranteed amount goes into an escrow type of account immediately. So when Burrow signs his next contract, let's say it's for $200mil and half of that is guaranteed, the team must place $100mil into an account the moment the contract is signed.

That's why after all these decades the Brown family is finally willing to sell the naming rights to the stadium. With Burrow and Chase and Higgins etc... next contracts coming up soon SoP needs the cash on hand to fulfill all that guaranteed money he's going to have to shell out as soon as those contacts are signed.

It would be nice now that his name is gone from the stadium to put up a statue of him on the grounds somewhere.

I've tried to find more confirmation on this but so far nothing. Absolutely great if accurate....

Everything I’m seeing and hearing is that Riley is in.
Decades overdue, but we finally got another one.

There it is.....

JUST IN: Ken Riley named a finalist for the Pro Football HOF.

Mike Brown: “This is long deserved. It is unfortunate Kenny is gone because we know how much he would have appreciated this. It would be a wonderful thing if he were selected for the Hall of Fame."

The Bengals have officially signed WR Trenton Irwin to the 53-man roster. He’s the WR3 without Ja’Marr Chase and earned the spot on the roster with how well he has been playing. Also, the Bengals waived OT Isaiah Prince. He started the Super Bowl last year, but Hakeem Adeniji took that spot as the backup tackle.

Adeniji has been playing, I've been seeing him in and out quite a bit. He's been playing pretty well since he's not noticeable or making huge mistakes where he's being called out.

Because......of course they didn't.
