What should the core philosophy of offseason '22 be?

[*ochocincos*]

Bengals should try to optimize this window with Burrow on his cheap contract.
Once Burrow is on his veteran contract, it's going to take a big chunk of cap and make it harder to spend on other veterans.
Given Carr just signed for $40 mill APY, I'd bet Burrow's will be $50+ mill.
He'll end up taking up 20-25% of the cap once that extension is done.
