I was just reading an article earlier this off-season by CBS sports that says Burrow’s fifth year option will be “irrelevant” as the Bengals will sign him to a new contract with traditional guarantees. I also remember someone talking about how they typically rip that option up and redo it when an extension happens. I could also just be misinterpreting these things though, but it’s hard to get information about this stuff. I do think the option is kept intact in some manner.
Yeah I don't have the best understanding of the cap and all the means teams use to manipulate the cap. But Goodberry specifically said an extension would be added on top of the 5th. He said all teams want to do that because it gives you x amount of years to get creative with the cap hit.
