The Cincinnati Bengals have restructured the contract of guard Cordell Volson, providing him with a one-year renegotiated deal. This adjustment includes $500,000 guaranteed, active bonuses, and incentives tied to his playing time. Notably, this maneuver frees up approximately $516,000 in cap space.

This is a surprising move for the Bengals, as Volson was set to earn around $3.7 million in 2025 following a performance escalator based on his game participation. By modifying his contract, the Bengals have incentivized Volson, motivating him to secure more playing time and meet active roster bonuses.
