Obviously we'll still need to see what happens, but I've personally never doubted Burrow will take a contract which helps BOTH sides.
I don't know what about Burrow's character people see, which would suggest he'll just rinse the team for his own $$$. Watch his Heisman speech and his general demeanour... he'll be aware of the bigger picture here. Even if he was solely all in on his own success and nobody else's, the legacy of winning Super Bowl(s) will make more a name of him than never winning it. That in itself leads to more $$$.
I think there's a real togetherness with this team as well. Burrow's a clever guy. At some point, the difference between $45m and $50m or whatever can't be TOO impactful on your life... whereas Burrow getting a few more seasons with Ja'marr and the rest might mean a lot more to him. Not just in terms of success on the field, but I think the team in general seems a good group of guys who get on.
Regardless of what he takes it'll be more challenging for the team than it is right now, but Burrow has done nothing but show us he wants to stay here for his career, and he wants to win across that whole time period as well. Perfect QB to have leading your team in my opinion.
