re: Some Potential Problems for Joe B in Cincinnati

Three year contact, front loaded, with fourth year option at first pick value pricing..that has to be agreed by both parties. Two year signing bonus upfront of 28,000,000! No negotiating.

Doesn't work like that.

Rookie wage scale in place now, it's basically all slotted as I understand it.

1st round pick HAS to have a 4 year contract and the team gets to decide if they want to add a 5th year option. Burrow can't negotiate any of that, it is set in stone.
