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. 

Honestly we should all know what the hold up is. It's not the 4yr 160mil because in reality even though people struggle to math that works out to 32 mil average with his 2 existing years. It's the guaranteed money. 120 mil is an impossible # to get out of them. It far exceeds the percentage even Burrow got. The Bengals need to fold on this and just get over there dislike of guaranteed money.
