Bengals S Taylor Mays' 2013 base salary increased from $575,000 to $630,000 after he hit escalators in his rookie deal. Mays won the starting strong safety job out of training camp but was quickly replaced after veteran Chris Crocker entered the fold in Week 4. Overall, Mays has been a bust since entering the league as a second-round pick out of USC in 2010 with the 49ers. He enters the final year of his rookie deal as a thumper who lacks coverage skills.
