Burrow 's deal is much more team friendly from a structure standpoint. Joe's max cap hit is $68.5 mil in '29, which is the last real year of his deal (he has some void years on the end of it to spread out his cap hit). For practical purposes, we'll never actually see him playing for that '29 number, as he will get an extension that lowers his cap number before that point. The rest of his deal steadily increases from mid $40 mil to low $50 mil range.
Also keep in mind that Ravens are not in great shape for next year. They are 21st in cap space, with only $5 mil and have a ton of key contributers hitting FA, including Zeitler, OBJ, Edwards, Madubuike, Queen, and others.
