A significant part that also depends on the performance of other team members and coaches. But right now it isn't so hard to see Burrow getting one of the largest QB contracts based on his accomplishments. Plus another unfortunate injury and it could cost him a ton of money. I can't see his agent or him wanting to take the gamble since the big money is apparently right here right now. Strike while the iron is hot.
Standing on his current accomplishments, he probably would stand to lose more than he would gain making that kind of gamble. I love the Bengals and think they have a real shot, but winning a title is damn hard. A lot has to go your way in terms of health and the makeup of the league in a particular year.
Betting on yourself is something a player does when an organization has reasonable doubt about their future with the team and won't fork over money. Burrow has already proven himself beyond any reasonable hesitation. This is not Joe Flacco we're talking about.
