Not sure I would sign him for more than 5 years. Long term contracts can be a thorn if Joe gets injured. I would sign him for 5 years at 250 million dollars. He's worth 50 million a year. And guarantee most of it.

Yeah, but then when we win a few Super Bowls, his next contract would be insane.

Oh the Bengals would sign him to a 10 year deal if he'd agree.

I think the deal will be shorter than fans want. The Mahommes deal is an outlier.

He'll get 3-5 years at $55-60 million a year.

Burrow says he wants to be here. Bengals certainly want him here. He’s a generational talent at the #1 premium NFL position. We can make a case that he’s the best QB in the league, and he’s still young.

If this were a short term deal, this contract would be signed already. I think it’s a LONNNNNNNNGGGG term deal with some creative pay outs.

I think the number of years could be a hang up too. It'll get done, but I doubt it's the money itself that is the reason it isn't already signed.

This makes ZERO sense if the team is looking to have flexibility to keep other players.
