My worry is something similar could happen like with Uzomah - he finds out what other teams are really willing to pay and the Bengals offer is just (way) too low compared to some other teams.
It's one thing to say you want to be somewhere, but it's unlikely you're willing to take too much of a discount for that to happen.
Money talks.
These receivers know that Joe Burrow is the Golden Goose and he will not only get them a ring but will get them the ball and they'll have exceptional careers if they stick with him. Yeah, they could go somewhere else but would it be in their best interest in the long term? No, they're staying put and putting up huge numbers via the way of Burrow's arm.
