If this is the new norm on what "good QBs" go for, Burrows next deal is going to be a roller coaster ride
The draft picks for a player of Watson's caliber? Okay, that's what it costs.
$230M for an elite QB? Okay, that's what it costs.
Together.....Um, that's bad. You give $230M guaranteed to the guy you drafted.
Add in that he hasn't played in a year and the suspension that is no doubt coming, and this has The Hindenburg written all over.
They've got 2 maybe 3 years to win it all. And Watson will miss significant time in those seasons. And you have to beat Joe Burrow.
This will doom them for a decade.
