Wouldn't it be better to stagger these huge contracts so they're more cap friendly? Get Tee signed this year, pick up Burrow's 5th year option so we can pay Chase next year, and then sign Burrow to a HUGE contract during his 5th year option.
Now all you capologists can let me have it for my "crazy" thoughts.
As I've said, we want Burrow to sign a friendly deal now while simultaneously expecting him to deliver our franchise's first Lombardi, as well as be the league MVP and SB MVP 6 months from now. Personally, I'm taking the ultra homer path where Burrow doesn't get a contract done, does all that stuff, and then the Browns have to sign over 51% ownership of the Bengals to him and he continues his career as a player/owner.
