The only way I see Burrow getting less money by waiting another year to sign a deal is if we don't go to the playoffs (which wouldn't be very likely imo). If he makes the Divisional round, AFFCG, SB or wins the SB it goes up. Each step will increase his contract more and more. If he wins MVP it's going to be even more. Burrow 100% seems like the kind of person who would bet on himself like that. I don't even think it's that big of a bet. He's going to want a ton of money and the Brown family will have to figure out a way to get enough money on hand to pay him the guarantee that he wants. The organization and the fans are wanting him to sign a deal now because we know that what he'll get will just go up every year.
