If Burrow really wanted to cash in I'd say he should just play out 2023 and then wait to get the monster contract, or at least wait until teams give guys like Lamar Jackson huge deals that he can top.  The odds of Burrow doing something in 2023 that makes the Bengals say "Nah, you're not our guy and we are NOT going to pay you a billion bucks" seems remote.

If Burrow legitimately doesn't care about his pay grade compared to others, he can get a deal done ASAP, I guess.  Well, that and the Watson deal I guess is all the "where is my team-killing deal!?" evidence any QB needs for a long time.
