I think they will get a deal done, but more than other teams it will effect the roster as the guarantee money just won't be there for other contracts. That doesn't mean Bengals won't be competitive or even a contender.

It just means unlike say the Ravens or Browns, once they sign their Franchise QB, they won't be able to sign players to contracts like OBJ, Clowney, etc. got from the Ravens, or the money the Browns spent on their DL, and Cooper after signing Watson. They won't be able to do what KC did after signing Mahomes (Oline additions Brown/NE guard - I can't think of the name of, and extending Jones, Kelce etc)

They will really have to draft well with an eye on the future. This level of contract Burrow will get will be tough on them.

Without revenue sharing Brown family would have long been out of business.
