A Burrow contract could look similar to Allen’s or Murray’s, as Allen will earn an average of $43 million per season over the six years of his contract, while Murray is poised to earn an average of $46 million annually over five years.

Can’t believe they wasted that much money on Murray but Burrow should be top 3 QB in salary.

I hope they can keep his receivers in place. They need to keep Higgins, Chase, Mixon, Perine and others on this team. Otherwise, he may get stuck like Aaron Rodgers, who I think rotted away with zero help in GB. Outside of the pocket Rodgers was the most accurate QB on the move I’ve ever seen with a devastating arm. Yet, he rotted away.

Joe may want to take less cash to keep his guys intact.

I still don't trust the Bengals to keep Joe protected and a good team around him.

He deserves every bit of that. That franchise has been hot garbage for a long, long time, and he has them one of the more feared teams in the nfl.

There are a number of players (Hurst the TE pops into mind) that should make sure they never lose Joes Home address. Joe from this point forward deserves a Christmas card every year for how much money he is helping them make.

Mixon, Perine


Wut?

Keep running backs, whose best years are likely behind them? Finding cheap, 3rd round replacements is how you save money

They need to let Joe be the first QB to get a % of the salary cap. Would make it so much easier on the team to know they always have 80% left of the salary cap to work with. And Joe gets to know he is worth 20% of the available money.

Its a win for both parties. And the NFL absolutely hates it. So Cincinnati should absolutely do it.

Higgins and Chase are going to command 24-25 million per year. No way they can keep both. Look for them to trade Higgins in the off season.

They have drafted well. They can get a 1st rd pick for Higgins and use that pick for a WR.

It wouldn't suprise me if he took a few dollars off to keep Chase around

Higgins will be smart to take the most money possible wherever that may be cus he will not have a more productive season anywhere else but the Bengals these past 2 seasons

I don’t see how they manage to keep both Chase and Higgins. Both are #1s on most other teams. Most important thing will be keeping the OL solid to protect Burrow.

Gotta keep some of the better guys on the defensive side too. Wilson, Hendrickson, Hubbard, Bell, etc. are all going to command attention when their contracts come up.

They’d be ok letting Eli Apple go at least.

Think about how much money the Bengals have made since Burrow has got there and that tells you how much that dude is worth. They either never had a road playoff win or zero before he got there and now they have 3-4.
