What's keeping them from offering a longer deal? In case i'm way off, they have the ability to structure it to their liking. Jefferson's cap hits the next 2 years are 8 and 15M.
Burrow's first 2 year hits are 19 and 29M. They can still keep the next 2 years lower than market value.
They can come with a 5 year extension and say, we're willing to give you this, a nice guarantee and signing bonus with an earlier out option to protect thier ROI, or to simply back load it in the hopes they renegotiate before he reaches ridiculous money.
This is shit they do for a living, i just can't see what the holdup is...unless Ja'Marr and his reps are just being exceptionally difficult and wanting it all. In that case, GTFO here J. I'd love to have him but he's not irreplaceable.
