Bengals should try to optimize this window with Burrow on his cheap contract.
Once Burrow is on his veteran contract, it's going to take a big chunk of cap and make it harder to spend on other veterans.
Given Carr just signed for $40 mill APY, I'd bet Burrow's will be $50+ mill.
He'll end up taking up 20-25% of the cap once that extension is done.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Sorry for Party Rocking!
