70 million dollars wasted

If the money is there (it will be) and he can stay at home near his family, and keep playing with Chase, I’d be absolutely shocked to see him go elsewhere. You just don’t see franchise QB’s hit the open market in their prime like that. *Who’s the last one - Cousins? And many would argue he’s just a good QB, but not a franchise one.

*Not counting the sex offender up north.

I'm pretty sure this will happen, but we're also assuming that either the issues we've seen for Burrow's entire time here will get fixed OR Burrow will willingly spend his career getting ground into the turf because he doesn't want to move away from home and/or he's blindly loyal to playing for the Bengals.

I'd have more faith Burrow stays here, but keep in mind some of the insane stuff that "never woulda happened" that we've seen lately:

Brady leave NE
Stafford leave Detroit and win a SB his first year elsewhere
Luck retiring out of nowhere, rather than winning multiple SBs
numerous high pick QBs get chucked like nothing (Trubisky, Mayfield, Winston, Mariota, Wentz, Goff, Rosen)

It just seems like QB mobility in regards to going from one team to another has gone from 0 to 90 in these recent years.
