He stated when asked about his contract that others need to be taken care of. I will not totally rule out JB being "creative" to help the cap
Only team friendly because of the length/structure followed by people overpaying mediocre QBs. He rocketed past the highest paid QB in the league at the time.
The highest paid QB in the league when Mahomes signed was making $35m/yr. Mahomes then signed for $45m/yr. He jumped the highest paid QB in the league by 28.6%. That means if Burrow had an equivalent jump over the highest paid QB right now, that would be a 10yr/$668.6m deal. I haven't seen anyone suggest Burrow should take a "team friendly" $66.86m/yr deal.
Also they're already looking at giving Mahomes more money on his deal. NFL players know their worth.
