Alex Smith came back to play, and yes, 15 years into his career. I'm not convinced RG3 was going to sustain success anyways once teams had a year of tape on him. Obviously the knee injury just expedited that so we'll never know. Lucks was on his own. 

Regardless, if RG3, Smith, or Theisman had a guaranteed part of their contract they would get that money no matter what injury happened. 

So it will come down to is he fine with the 200 mil guaranteed that he'll get no matter what, plus whatever he makes for the years he's still here. Or does he want an extra 5-10mil a year in addition to the 200 +  salary incase he's cut early. That's the difference between signing 1-2 good players but obviously is up to Burrow on what he wants to do. 

I won't fault him either way like I said.
