Bengals re-sign George Iloka for five years, $30 million

The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed safety George Iloka to a five-year, $30 million contract.

What It Means:

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the deal will pay out $18 million over the first three seasons. Iloka drew "serious interest" from several teams, but the Bengals ponied up the money to keep the 25-year-old in town. With Reggie Nelson expected to hit the market, Cincinnati still has a hole to fill at safety.

In 12 games played in 2015, Iloka racked up 47 combined tackles, one interception and four passes defended. He helped the Bengals defense to a 12th-place finish in Adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points per play last season.
