    Hakeem Butler contract details with Bengals revealed

    By Chris Roling,

    The Cincinnati Bengals added wide receiver Hakeem Butler in free agency, who immediately turned around and started making plays in practice.

    That certainly matched the hype fans welcomed him with, considering Butler was just the UFL’s offensive player of the year.

    Now we know more about his contract, too.

    According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2, Butler’s contract with the Bengals checks in at $915,000 and is for one year.

    It’s not a bad deal for either party. Butler gets a chance to prove he once again belongs in the NFL and if he makes the 53, he’ll be playing in a stacked offense led by Joe Burrow.

    For the Bengals, they get another huge body for the boundary in the same vein as Tee Higgins and Andrei Iosivas.

    Here’s just one example of what the Bengals are getting already on that deal:
