I'm hoping they can find a way to keep him, but I could see this as a FA compensatory pick if it's allowed off of only a one year deal.

Extending Higgins and Wilson this off-season and then Burrow the following season may be easier with a draft pick at the TE position instead of committing big money to an established FA(see Jessie Bates). Hurst may be a casualty due to his, and his fellow team mates', success. Some other team may want to A) improve their team and hope to B) weaken Cincinnati at the same time and offer him Uzomah money.

Wilson yes, Higgins i think will be beyond our ability to keep both him and Chase. So that leaves money for Hurst.

Now if we get back to the SB and win it this time... players will be getting insane offers, flip side, good players chasing a ring will take less... 
not only that, but Burrow in the NFL for 4 years, 2x to the SB??? Players will be thinking... this guy is the next Tom Brady and i want to be a part of that
