He seems like a guy who got it through the mud, and worked too hard to then give a discount on his 1st big deal. IMO hes gonna take every cent hes worth and HOPEFULLY if that is his intent hes made it known beforehand so that it inst a surprise.
Now what I HOPE happens is he takes a discount with the express promise that the money will go to Jamarr and Tee. I could absolutely see him doing that too, because Burrow is also smart and thank GOD the Aaron Rodgers shit happened before was a free agent. Because there is now RECENT proof that the QB eating the cap hurts the team. All we have to do is look at Arod and the Packers.
We'll see. Mahomes' deal was a record setter, but it was structured pretty good for the team.
I don't think Burrow will set the market (and if he does, it won't be the top deal for long as someone will one up it).
I also think Burrow isn't stupid. He's smart enough to realize that leaving some stuff on the table will only help the team long term. I wouldn't be shocked to see him get a huge bonus, but have the salary relatively small the first few years.
