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.
So it was team-friendly deal.
