As why give him anything more I see that argument but on flipside his performance warrants more plus who knows how Burrow is going do to in recovery, I prefer a happy backup and rewarding him an extra 1 million to 2 million is not going to disrupt much. I actually would try to entice him with a 2 yr contract or maybe pay base with incentives, Burrow track record is not great , hate to lose a quality backup
You disagreeing with me or anyone else simply proves we are correct. What math am I wrong about? We already have his rights for 2 years.
You dont understand how the NFL works, this was explained in an earlier post.
You can disagree with facts all you want but these are true:
#1. He is a ERFA - there is a set contracted amount. If the Bengals want to extend him they could but that would be dumb, he has no choice but to sign with us at that pay rate and next year he will be a RFA, so it is unnecessary.
#2. He will likely get a bonus from the league for his solid performance like Volson did.
#3. Happy backup? Bengals have his rights for a couple years, this is makes zero sense. Not surprised.
#4. We are not going to lose a quality backup, he cannot negotiate with other teams.
