Lol, you're blaming Joe for the Bengals not signing better players before Burrow's numbers have even really kicked in.
Last year Burrow's cap hit was $19.5m.
This year Burrow's cap hit is $29.7m.
Lamar's had a higher cap hit than Burrow for the last 3 straight years.
The same Bengals who decided to spend $39m of their cap space this year on Higgins, Rankins, and Stone are magically going to become smart spenders if Burrow takes below market value even though they haven't been while his cap hits were still low?
