Burrow is signed through 2024 with a 5th year option that they will likely offer the new contract before that year. Plus the gambling money that will be coming in to the NFL by that time should "exponentially" increase the cap.
It's like he doesn't even know about that.
I like Hobson, but this is just ignorant.
I was thinking the same thing regarding Burrow's contract. These next two years of his rookie deal is the teams chance to go all in on the Super Bowl. I honestly just tune Hobson out.
If people want to read/watch/listen to a more realistic speculation on what the team might do roster wise the next 2 months, they'd be better off finding someone other than the reporter employed by the Bengals. His job is to "under promise" the fanbase so when the Bengals "over deliver", there is more buzz (or less of a let down). It's also posturing from the team reporter/coaches/owners/etc to help with contract negotiations.
