You're right, it doesn't but after all the talk about how Burrow and Chase are so close and can bring a SB finally to Cincy and how JB and Higgins and now Chase might sign team friendly deals to keep the core of the team together for a SB push, now we see their true colors and that is to reset the markets for their position groups. So, so much for team loyalty for a SB run.
Must be fun to hear agents chat behind the scenes about how they just got "so and so" signed for 50M ++++++++ per year to set a new market and these other agents say watch this,, and sign one of their players to a yet bigger contract when neither player has been to a SB let alone won one. That's why I feel winning a SB has become secondary after signing the huge contract is 1st. Seems like not too many decades ago winning the SB was the prize and THEN getting a huge contract was the icing on the cake but now it's the other way around.
Hey, if the money is there for the Bengals to sign these players then they probably should. With the TV money being spread around like butter other teams seem to do it without going broke.
