Of course it's expensive and our "best case' is that Joe will be equally expensive in a few years. A large part of the Watson contract was a $27,000,000 signing bonus; that's on Houston
As to the value:
The "hot talk is:
Dolphins for Tua, #18 this year, 1st rd 2022
Niners for First-round pick in 2021, second-round pick in 2021, first-round pick in 2022, second-round pick in 2023 and Jimmy Garoppolo
Even without the bonus, his cap hit is averaging around $34 million per year, starting in 2022. The bonus would take off around $5 million in cap hit per season.
Burrow has a cap hit of $9.8 million in 2022, which is likely when he would be signing an extension (2022 or 2023). That extension would become active in 2025, after his fifth year option.
