Forget this talk about taking any kind of discount to keep everyone together. If Burrow was going to take a discount, the contract would have already been signed. He is not waiting on Tee. I think it comes down to the Bengals are focusing in on Burrow and he is wanting to be the highest paid player in the NFL. It also wouldn't surprise me with all the talk about a percentage of the cap he is also trying to get a raise every single year from a contract that would already pay him as the highest player in the NFL. Instead of signing a contract that would pay him like Herbert at 53-55 million where the hit isnt so bad toward the end of the contract, I would guess Burrow wants that 55 million plus have his contract raise every year where you dont see any type of relief toward the end of the contract.
