I dont blame anyone for getting as much as they can but at some point it becomes detrimental to both the team and player.
Look at Tom Brady, he never went after the max he could get and he was the best of them all. He was still paid top tier but he also made sure the team had enough money they could get talent around him to succeed. Its ultimately up to Burrow to determine how much he wants but I would hope he takes a cue from Brady.
He is, and has been, on his rookie deal and they didn't get a nice O-line yet. If they say, "oh, well now we can't afford an O-line" lacks validity.
Tom Brady's wife also made a boat load of money and his endorsements were massive. ( Didn't he also get a PPP "loan."? )
Like a teenage girl driving a Ferrari.
