I mentioned awhile back when Ja'Marr said Joe knows how he wants to do his deal to keep his weapons. This, I think is it. Joe gives a hometime discount to keep Tee, but signs his only after they do a deal with Tee, so they can't crawfish and not sign Higgins after Joe signs his deal... Burrow' brilliance on display.
Pretty much, I think we are thinking the same, just wording it a bit differently.
Burrow is most likely waiting to see how much money is needed to keep Tee and then work with what's left to get his deal done for himself.
But i think the biggest key is signing after a certain date so that the Bengals have an extra year to allocate the money for the guaranteed money on Joe's contract (I could be wrong about the date thing, but i remember reading it somewhere).
