Demanding to be the highest paid player in the NFL at 55 million per and having 80% of your contract guaranteed is helping the team? Burrow did not help the team at all with this deal. He helped himself and limited what the team can do. Maybe Higgins will do the team a favor and sign an extension for 26 million per year with only 75% guaranteed.
Extension is $55 million per year for 5 years. But there were the two existing years that need to be counted as well, giving a 7-year contract at $45 million per year. How do you measure highest paid QB? Mahomes has a contract for $450 million. That is a richer contract. Mahomes averages 45 million per year as well. I think Burrow helped the team as much as people are claiming Mahomes helped the team with his team-friendly contract.
