Good stuff Pally. Love how Burrow is such a selfless QB and wants to keep his guys around to keep this team tops.

Yeah, if Joe wants both Ja'Marr and Tee, he will get what he wants.
Not up to me even though I am impartial on the whole thing. Want to make sure we keep the trenches as good as possible and
extending DJ Reader would be a big part in this. Hope we can afford Tee, DJ and Logan after Burrow gets his contract.

"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."

"He knows what he has to do to win and he wants to win," said Chase, who will not be eligible for a new deal until next offseason. "He's a winning guy. He's not a quarterback that's always interested in money and all that other stuff. He just wants to win, and that's the big thing about Joe."

Nice. All this gives me hope we ALL will be happy.
