Former Wolfpack football star B.J. Hill signed a three-year, $30 million extension with the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday, with $15 million due in the first year of the contract.
Hill was a 2018 3rd round pick (69th overall) by the Giants. After a stellar rookie year in 2018 where he started 12 games and registered 5.5 sacks, his playing time diminished over the next two seasons where he started a combined five games and registered a total of just 2.0 sacks.
Just prior to the start of the 2021 season, Hill was traded (along with a 2022 7th round pick) to the Bengals for center Billy Price.
