Yeah, Florio is a scumbag dirty SOB and I could call him many other nasty names that fit well lol
No surprise the stealer fan is hoping for Burrow to sit out like a loser would.
Problem for him and the rest of the stealer fan base is, Joe Burrow is a winner and a class act. He will roll regardless.
It only hurts our FO's reputation and the organization's dough if the deal isn't done before the season starts.

Some of the other contributors were not too bad though. After they changed the entire format a while back I don't even go there anymore because the website is a bad layout now in my opinion and they got rid of the comments. The comments were probably the best part at least for entertainment value.
As for Bengals related news the good people here that monitor Twitter (X) and other social media have updates much quicker than PFT and most NFL related websites anyway. That's one big reason I hang out here so much.
Of course they would get rid of the comments. They don't like to hear the truth, they can't handle it.

Once Herbert signed his extension, it felt like Burrow's deal was fairly simple math in terms of value. The wait may or may not necessarily mean anything, but it doesn't seem like business as usual for lack of a better term.
This team will never recover from the beating they will take in the national media if they don't get this done soon.
This is why I do believe the deal is done behind the scenes and they are waiting for a time to announce.
Makes no sense other wise with the way things have been done lately with this team and franchise.

He still has this year and next year on his rookie contract, so he's probably not worried about it. Or it could just be that the Brown family doesn't have the cash on hand to sign Burrow with the guarantee money he wants, since you have to have it on hand. If Burrow was all about a team friendly deal then why would he have an agent.
Eh, I am sure he wants the insurance of a contract to start on that journey, as George here says, anything can happen in sports.
Take the biggest contract for a player in history and roll, that should be Burrow's mentality here. I know he DOES want to keep Tee....
We will see what happens here soon enough.
Doubt we enter the season without a Burrow deal.

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.
Spot on George. It will get done before the season I am sure of it. I think we are all fretting for no reason.
