Update On Burrow's Extension

[Nepa]

Reading this report in ESPN, it is quite inspiring to see a player talk about concern in HIS contract negotiations for the other players.

"As he goes through talks with the Bengals, Burrow said he's keeping teammates who could also receive contract extensions in consideration."

"Whenever you have guys on the team that need to be paid, that's always on your mind," Burrow said on Tuesday. "You want that to be a focal point. We're working to make that happen."

Higgins comment also made this point (as well as effectively shooting down the post that led to an entire thread over a month ago that he'd completed contract negotiations and his signing was imminent).

"The receiver shot down rumors that floated online that a contract was in place. He added that Burrow's comments indicate what has been discussed between them privately - the quarterback wants to keep the core intact for as many years as possible."

"We talk about staying together for the long run," Higgins said. "Hopefully we can do that and get something negotiated to where they can keep all three of us."
