Would the Bengals be wise to lock Burrow up long term right now?
Play out his rookie contract (minus 5th year which would probably be void due to 1st year of his extension) and lock him up for 10 years right now?
10 years / $350 million? Do you think he would take that amount? Average $35 million a year. That contract would carry him until his age 37 season.
This way he is still under a rookie contract for the next two years so we can keep our cheap window open for a few years, but also get him signed now before cap and everything starts exploding.
