yet the narrative now is we were all saying take less money because of a small handful of posters.
I was in favor of Burrow making a team-friendly deal by taking less money, but in my view this is taking less money, so I am delighted.
I raised Mahomes as an example of someone who took a team-friendly deal because he makes an average of $45 million per year (10 years at $450 million). For the seven years that Burrow is under contract, he makes $316 million, which comes to $45.1 million a year. To me, that is a team-friendly deal. What would not have been team friendly is to average $55 million for 7 years.
