Escrow bofa deez.
They opened up new sources of revenue like the stadium naming plus they were saving for it since 2021. Also Burrow probably agreed to a lower than 100% guarantee so that they would be able to meet escrow.

I have to admit I want to see this contract analyzed. They're saying extension so that means the full cap hit does not happen for 2 years?

Now go win us a ring.
We can't afford Tee. I told everyone Burrow was not trying to keep everyone together and would get everything he possibly could. Like I said Burrows talk was just talk.

I believe that is correct
You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American

With this deal and if he wants anything close to Jefferson, he's gone. The only way we had a shot at keeping all 3 was if all 3 were willing to not push for market setting deals. Stinks players like Mahomes and Watt were willing to and they weren't but that's life.

Atleast according to Goodberry this will make it a little over 45mil per year averaged out.

Agree
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

Agreed. Seems like there was no thought in his mind about trying to keep the band together.

So glad the deal is finally done! Happy to have Burrow at the helm for 7 more years! Now let’s go win a Super Bowl while we still have Tee

Wonder if they wanted to get both done but ran out time due to Higgins? Just a thought

Lol so Burrow wanted a 100 % guarantee and out of the generosity of his own heart he only took an 80% guaranteed contract? Wow what generosity.
