The safe move would be to sign this offseason and he'll get a huge contract, but with our team drastically improved this offseason (assuming that we do improve it) and we don't have as bad luck with injuries, we could win the Super Bowl this year and then Burrow would be looking at a much bigger contract. He'd probably be in a position to demand a record contract after bringing us our first Super Bowl in history.
He won't be hurting either way but it's just a matter of if he wants the sure thing or potential for the monster deal.
You just had to stack up 3 hypothetical qualifiers to even try to begin to make not taking huge guaranteed money right now make sense. On the flip side of those 3 hypothetical qualifiers is the 1 threat of an injury that either makes his career never the same, or ends it, or nothing tears or breaks but concussions start stacking up ala Tua.
