Yeah, I’m reading information that still confuses me. I was just reading an article earlier this off-season by CBS sports that says Burrow’s fifth year option will be “irrelevant” as the Bengals will sign him to a new contract with traditional guarantees. I also remember someone talking about how they typically rip that option up and redo it when an extension happens. I could also just be misinterpreting these things though, but it’s hard to get information about this stuff. I do think the option is kept intact in some manner.
