True as well, cannot have it both ways. Either way we are paying Burrow the most and the most by a ways. If we try and make ourselves
feel better about saying with the option we are near what Mahomes is getting we cannot leave out that Mahomes is 39 mil per year himself.
I am just glad we got it done now.

But there does not seem to be anything team friendly about the deal so far. He got more per year than Herbert or Hurts. It is not a team friendly length like Mahomes' 10 year with KC.
Now, there may be something team friendly in the structure that we do not see yet. But there ain't no home town discount in what we can see. Dude is highest paid at his position and signed for 5 so he can go big again sooner.
Yeah, I wish we had the length of the Mahomes deal for sure. Maybe there is something in the structure like you say to make us feel
even better about it. In the end, I am just happy we got it done before Burrow takes over as the greatest QB on Earth which I think
will start this year.
