The only way he spikes his value significantly is by winning a Super Bowl. He's done everything else. That's not a great gamble for him if that's the goal, and I don't think it is.
This team is great personnel-wise and they certainly have a serious shot at a title, but there are way too many moving parts for that to be a wise play.
If Burrow doesn't win a SB here in the next 2 years, contract or no, I'd be a bit surprised (a bit, not insanely). I know it isn't easy to win a SB and a lot of things have to fall in place, but it takes very litter homerism to see him winning it all in 2024 or 2025.
Burrow is either going to win the SB in the next 2 years or at least prove to more than half of the NFL teams out there that getting him will get them a SB in the next 2 years. AND if anything goes wrong or he underperforms, teams are going to say "Well, it's the Bengals' fault, not his" and still value him like it won the SB here.
