Having Burrow increases the franchise value and brings more revenue in too.

They'll sign him.

I'd argue if the Brown family can't find the money to pay him this offseason, they never will be able to as the price only rises. It's pretty cut and dry.

Can't escrow 180 million this offseason for the guaranteed portion which they have to do, and is a challenge for the cash strapped family owned business. They won't be able to escrow 225m next, and definitely won't be able to escrow 300m after 2025.

We have to remember this is the business for the Browns. This team isn't their tax write-off for their multi billion dollar company they really make their money from.

This money is coming from lil grandbaby Brown's college fund and Katie's inheritance.

I'm sure they can get a loan for the needed amount IF they don't have it, but i'd bet they have it already.

Dehner brought up a good point that they'd probably push to get a deal done by Wednesday when Burrow has his weekly press conference. If it's not done, I'd expect the entire press conference to be centered around the new deal.

Can't get the annoying nail tapping out of my head, not just my own but the song. Hopefully the wait is over today. 

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

I am getting increasingly pessimistic that these deals get done this season.

Not that they do not get done, but just that it happens next year. IF that happens, it is a big organizational failure because we have $20 mil in cap space on the table while chasing a Super Bowl.

It rolls over to be used against next year's salary cap. Just because the Bengals don't use it this year doesn't mean they won't use it eventually when those players do get signed. It's a big reason the Browns are going into the season with almost 40 million cap space. They need to roll that over because their cap hits go up next year.

The Burrow extension is 100% getting done before Sunday

I don't know how they get Higgins done though.  I doubt their budget includes 2 top dollar WR contracts going forward.

I mean, I don't see why people are so obsessed with it. There's no chance we don't extend Burrow and very little chance we don't extend Higgins. This year, next year, who cares, does it really matter? It's not like they're free agents.

They can happen late in the process

Geno Atkins signed his first extension on September 2, 2013 (Monday of Week 1).

AJ Green signed his on Friday of Week 1 in 2015.

It blows my mind how the FO and agent have literally MONTHS to get these deals done and they wait until the last day/week of the offseason lol. I guess one side just eventually caves in negotiations in order to get it done before the season starts.

Twitter (X) is blowing up. Apparently, in addition to Burrow, Justin Jefferson, Bosa and Chris jones all have record setting deals on the table.

They all get done before the season starts Thursday, IMO.

We have football this week and there are 4 contract extensions on the table for players that are generational talents.
Joe Burrow, Nick Bosa, Chris Jones and Justin Jefferson.
These are all future Hall-of-Famers that could respectively sign record deals.

I can see Bosa and Jefferson getting deals. KC is going to have a hard time paying Jones what he wants.

They will figure it out. Extensions often allow better cap flexibility. He is arguably the second most important player on the team behind mahomes.

Meh - this isn't really anything new. 

[QueenCity]

Sounds like it's happening tomorrow... Burrow parents are in town and a couple rumors floating on Twitter.

“Both Burrow and the #Bengals have kept major information from leaking, but based on my discussions, there’s optimism in the building and in the locker room that a deal could get done over the next few days.” https://t.co/8qnJlJ8qaJ

Said last week I thought it would be yesterday or today just made too much sense.

Great news to wake up to the fact it’s been kept quiet all summer and now it’s leaking that it’s near as dammit done apart from a couple of small things if you believe the rumours.

Hopefully should know soon enough either way and will give a clearer picture if we have a cat in hells chance of keeping Tee too.
