Not saying I buy this, but the answer would be he is signing last to make sure his other core guys are retained first. He is willing to go team friendly (somehow) , but o ly if the team is friendly to winning a SB.
Hence, Muxon restructure, Hendrickson extension, Wilson extension. All done before Burrow.
This theory would have Higgins hapoening pre-Burrow, and perhaos Boyd or Reader or Awuzie as well.
