Bengals 9-12 since "Burrowhead" smacktalk

You bring up a very important point. Firstly; we all know the extension was the turning point. Specifically; losing/letting players walk, to essentially divert money to Burrow's contract was the beginning - not smack talk. 

As related to the locker room, there is no such thing as Team harmony in NFL locker rooms, because when one co-worker takes home over 20% of the entire pie, it is in your face everyday you walk in that building. It is a culture of Monarchy, and you get scraps after the King eats. We don't go to work everyday and see Gates and Musk as co-workers. 

It will only get worse if Chase is extended. That is ~ 35% going to two players.

There is only one cure for this - winning. Because it give the peasants hope that they can make more money on their next contract WITH ANOTHER TEAM.

So, success then elevates expectations and creates discontent for players, which is then a problem for ownership. 

That is why Belichick was the greatest. He ruled over a number of Monarchs as a dictator and managed fallout from success.
