I think the article brings up some interesting points about Burrow's contract and the Bengals' history as it pertains to negotiating with star players/quarterbacks, and also how they have changed their rigid stance on those negotiations as time has gone on.

Just thought it was an interesting read as it pertains to Bengals contract negotiation history. I think that the sticking point will almost surely be the guaranteed money, but at the same time the Bengals realize that this is something they have to break all their prior precedents to get done. The question then, of course, is what impact that has on the team as a whole and the other players who need paid also.

What I also found interesting was that if the Bengals break their precedent as to paying out guaranteed money to Burrow, does that open the door for the same thing to happen for our other impact players?

Great thread.
Joey B. is a true franchise QB. He had an emergency appendectomy last year. I would not call that an injury. All reports are Joey is an extremely hard worker. He is loved by his coaches and his teammates.

As for Bengals FO and contracts, there has been a shift the last few years on how the Bengals operate. I don't recall the Bengal never forcing a player into a huge pay cut. They have always paid players well on 2d contracts, don't recall them adding a year on a contract like they did with Trey recently.

I love this Bengals organization and the roster. I hope and pray they are rewarded with a Lombardi in the near future, in my humble opinion they are doing all the right things.
