It is just a 1 year deal and I think he has his best season as a pro here with Burrow.
We got Hurst at a great bargain. I don't think he would have signed a long-term deal at that price.
I feel that talent wise Hurst for CJ is a wash, but Hurst cost $3.5 million and CJ got $8 million per year. I am not as high on Hurst as some people here, but I still liked the signing a lot. The Bengals would have been crazy to pay CJ $8M instead of Hurst for $3.5M. Hayden and CJ are even the same age.
