There is this little matter of Ross being in the final year of a 4 year, $17 million dollar contract.  Green is scheduled to make $18 million this year.  

Burrow will likely be the best thing to ever happen to Ross in stripes, although I bet Ross ends up somewhere else next year.  There aren't too many situations I can see where Ross signs here after having his fifth year option declined.  About the only way I see that happening is if Tee Higgins balls out and AJ struggles with health again.  That, and Ross having a great year.  That would put AJ's contract dollars in Ross's pocket, although he may STILL desire to try his luck in FA.  Unless he really loves Burrow.  

There are a number of teams Ross could be a serious #2 WR
For. Jets. Gisnts. Redsskins.. Ross will garner alot of intrest in the 2021 off season. 
You dont average a TD every 4.9 catches by accident. 
Ross is the only WR on the Bengsls that can simply catch it  and if he gets on a step on a CB it's a TD.
He doesnt have to build up speed like some WRs. 
He could use better schematics in getting the ball in his hands.
Look how Shanny uses Deebo Samuel.it's not complicated 

I think Higgins could really contribute sooner than later. He has the QB and culture to  accelerate 
His 1st year journey . best thing is he's not pressed into being the focal point of the passing game 
He can take in all the learning ..play loose and enjoy the process 
I'm sure Burrow will happily stay after hours to work with him. 
With Burrow being single and no family it wold not surprise me plus his desire to be great
