It is tacked onto the two years remaining from his rookie deal he was already under contract for. The only way it averages $45M/year is by including portions of his rookie contract signed in 2020 that has nothing to do with his extension. The only reason why you’re averaging multiple contracts is to make yourself feel better about Burrow not taking a below market value contract. Which I don’t understand why you think he should because it isn’t Burrow’s job to manage the Bengals’ salary cap.

Burrow may as well have done what he done did.  Palmer tried to play GM with Mike Brown and it blew up in his face, and Dalton took a friendly contract and got ground into the turf behind a crap o-line with "luxury" picks like John Ross to bail him out.
