Burrow got paid damn 219 guaranteed. That's like what 80%?

Would have preferred longer than 5 years but I’m still super happy that it’s done.

Glad it's done, but it appears to be pretty basic. Coulda done this the day after Herbert signed.

Should be 5 years on top of the 2 he has remaining. I imagine they will pick up his 5th year option first and really make it a 7 year deal.

Wow, that's more than I thought.
Still, glad it's done.
Hopefully, Higgins is announced shortly after.

This is more than I anticipated. I was thinking $54MM would be tops. Also got a huge guarantee. Super happy this is done.

Need to see the breakdown not a massive expert on American sports contracts but that makes keeping Higgins nigh on impossible with Chase going for a record breaking contract next year doesn’t it?
Over the moon it’s finally done deserves every penny he awoke a sleeping giant.
Now go win us a ring.

There was an article today talking about how a Higgins deal isn’t expected anytime soon, and that he/his agent are waiting for Jefferson/Lamb to set the market. I personally don’t believe he will be here long term.

Maybe the guaranteed portion? That’s A LOT of guaranteed money.

I have a feeling the details are way more complicated than the top line.
