I would love to have him, but I would hope the Bengals insist on a minimum of 2 years, and preferably 3.

Renting a stud WR for a year isn't going to put this team over the hump in 2021.  Will it make us better?  Sure.  But I still think we need to build out with the future in mind (year 3, 4, 5 of Joe's rookie deal).

I really hope we consider adding years on to our offer like the Giants.  This guy is a beast, would be great to lock him up for a few years.  I just think it would suck to be right back in the same boat next year, still needing another WR.

Because they probably aren't the clubhouse leader on a multi-year, just based on how we structure deals. You are banking on getting a quality year out of him and maybe you re-sign him with some team success in that year and maybe you don't, but you at least give Burrow another weapon as he develops that you probably had no business having a shot at getting.
