spare me the BS of working a deal that keeps other stars. Unlike Mahomes who took a 10 year deal which provides a ton of flexibility, or Brady who simply took less, Joe simply followed suit with Herbert, Lamar, Hurts, ect... nothing special about those guys compared to Brady and Mahomes.

It was a looong shot but I really thought Joe might have do something close to Mahomes deal with a couple less years. Glad we have Joe for 7 years, the negative impact will likely be felt next season.

I don't understand why people keep acting like its some miracle he did an extension with us. In Burrows life we've been an average to above average franchise.

Does that mean a Tee Higgins deal is unrealistic now? Possibly. It may still be in the hands of Joe Burrow. If Burrow wants to "Keep the band together" he could do what Tom Brady did in New England and restructure the deal down the line. If I remember correctly, Brady left like $60 million on the table with the Patriots so they could remain competitive. Could Joe Burrow do the same? I don't know? It could come down to what's more important to Joey. Money or winning. I think things worked out well for Tom Brady, he is still wealthy and has all those nice, shiny rings.

No one wanted him to go to Cincinnati because of history repeating itself. Protect the guy and no one will have issues, but it was looking like the Bengals were going to ruin a brilliant QB, like what’s happened in the past. It almost did happen and you know it. That’s the reputation, and I hate to break it to you, but it’s deserved.
