One day before training camps open, three first-round picks have not signed their rookie contracts.
The unsigned first rounders are Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (first overall), Giants tackle Andrew Thomas (fourth overall), and Titans tackle Isaiah Wilson (29th overall).

Does this mean Burrow might opt out and come back to school?

Only if he has not signed with an agent.

Yeah, but Joe Burreaux has four years left.

Who is his agent, one known to have his clients hold out?

why would Burrow hold out? Aren’t rookie contracts slotted, so the numbers are set?
Sign that contract and get that signing bonus in the bank, Joe. This virus has the 2020 season in jeopardy. Pocket the bonus now.

I think it's common for the top pick to wait until most others are signed to make sure his deal is appropriately top of the heap.

That’s not how it works
The money is slotted, there’s no negotiation there, and it’s based on how high you were drafted.
There are language/types of guarantees that can be negotiated and some teams are more willing to concede those than others, which is what causes the delays despite the slotted money being set

I think he has signed some promotional contracts so he’s got a little jingle in his pocket.

He isn’t holding out until practice starts and he doesn’t report.
