He’s been awesome but hasn’t had the chance to put up elite numbers so that will drive his price down a bit. Great relationship and chemistry with Burrow. WR’s love playing for great QB’s. I could certainly see him take less to stay here, but we have to be in the ballpark with his other offers.
I could also see Burrow take a couple million less per year to keep a decent team around him. He’s going to get stupid money regardless, I have a feeling he’s a bigger picture guy and won’t worry too much about every last penny. He is smart though so his guaranteed money should be off the charts. That’s more important than overall contract number anyway.
Chase is the one I don’t see getting much of a discount for. He obviously loves burrow, but he will likely have to be the top paid WR in the NFL to keep him around.
and beyond the NFL money im sure burrow will make millions doing commercials. Can never really blame a player for attempting to get max pay in a sport any play can potentially end your career. but its nice to see guys that want to win on the field more than the bank account. (ie want to be highest paid at their position)
If teams start making fully guaranteed deals a norm though bengals will likely need some help to compete in that area.
This will be an interesting offseason the be sure
