Yeah, it really turned the signings into kind of humdrum thing. No more Andre Smith-style holdouts.
...Or 6yr/$78m contracts to rookies who have never played a snap in their life and might busts, killing their franchise. That's what Sam Bradford got in 2010. (JaMarcus Russell got 6yr/$61m just 3 years earlier when the cap was $109m.) Burrow still got set for life with 4yr/$36m, but it certainly makes it easier on the cap and isn't quite as team crushing if it doesn't work out for whatever reason.
