Also, if a QB the caliber of Joe Burrow took a $35MM per year contract, I am pretty sure the NFLPA would have a field day. I see Joe getting in the realm of $50MM-$55MM per year. For what it's worth, Spotrac has Joe's market value set around $44MM per year (6 years, $265MM). I personally think that is a little low, given the circumstances around playoff success so far.

Just curious but what could the NFLPA do about a superstar taking a home-town discount to keep his team hyper-competitive? Just because it would ruin their narrative for coercion against the NFL Owners? 

No way they can try to swing that the Bengals brass strong armed him, they would be laughed out of existence. A "poor" "weak" franchise bullied the unflappable Burrow? Come on now.
