Well let's look at it as a percentage then.  Would I take an extra ten to fifteen thousand dollars per year?  Yes I would.  Most people would.  Most people would say "I've earned this, this is the reward for my hard work" and we call that success.  I make more money now than I did two jobs ago and even before I got this higher salary I had food and shelter and money to blow on stupid stuff.  I didn't NEED this higher pay any more than Burrow NEEDS to get paid like a top tier QB.

I'm saying is that it's always amusing when people say "How much money does (person who isn't me) REALLY need?"  Whether it's sports or politics, it's always an interesting thing to discuss.

I believe Burrow will take an unreasonably friendly deal, but I'm also admitting that we, myself included, expecting him to just do so is showing some really delightful privilege on our part.
