He worked his whole life, has God given talent, it’s time to cash that in and set his family tree up for many decades. He’s earned it.

Probably right, but it largely will depend on his performance and health this season.  Still, you get the point that a longer term deal in a really good position is worth more than going somewhere like the Jets, getting $18 million per over 4 years only to be released after two dismal years because the team is inept and dysfunctional.  It happens more than you realize when top FA go to poor teams that are constantly "starting over".  

Here he has Burrow to throw to him, and Chase to draw coverage.  I don't believe he is tracking to $20 million per year, but who knows exactly how large the next cap is going to be when the gambling dollars are included.
