But we have gotten a Mixon restructure, a Hendrickson extension, and a Wilson extension first. I think a lot of the speculation about a deal being essentially done with Burrow or Burrow possibly leveraging his contract situation to ensure the others are locked up BEFORE he signs come out of this surprising fact. And I think such speculation is well founded.
The team flat out stated Burrow's deal would come first/be the #1 priority, and we already have 3 high profile/big ticket guys done before him.
I agree. Remember MB and JB talking about a pact they made not to talk about Joe's contract situation. That to me opened up a boatload of speculation possibilities.... Just for the record, I think DJ will be offered a 2 year contract next offseason, Chido and Boyd will be gone.
