Burrow's cap hit this year alone as a 1st overall pick ($11.5m) is almost twice that of Hurt's entire 4 year rookie contract, and depending on how they do the extension, Burrow also has a $29.5m 5th year option. So while it takes a little bit to ramp up to the big cap hits, Burrow will start with a much higher floor of cap hits.

The first year of the deal will be 2024 and that is only 13m those numbers seem off... if those are the numbers for the first 4 years I agree with Au that it might be a huge incentive laden deal.
