The Mahomes contract was announced in July. I would expect similar timing for Burrow’s deal.

Chase can't have deal yet. Higgin and Burrow can but they don't have to.

Why would any mega deal free agent agree to a long term deal the year before the biggest cap increase in the sports history?

A short list of things happening today in Cincinnati.
1. Joe Mixon is pointing a gun at somebody. 2. A person is vomiting up some type of spaghetti/chili combination. 3. A company is doing layoffs. 4. Eli Apple is something something stupid to somebody. 5. 2,000 couples are looking around and saying, "Why do we live here? Let's sell the house and move somewhere decent."

I'm just not sure Burrow can accept a Brady/Mahomes type of contract because of the off the field/endorsement money Brady and Mahomes earn. Mahomes was like $22M in 2022 and with winning the SB again that will only go up. From what I could find Burrow was at like $2-$3M in 2022 far less than Mahomes.
I'm just not sure the "market" can support multiple $20M+ endorsement earning QBs at the same time. Maybe when Brady's completely go away? |

They are trying to figure out a way to cheat the cap.

That can but just other areas will suffer badly like defense. When you win too many games every year your draft isn't full of top picks like they have had.

Burrow and Higgins will sign team-friendly deals. Not sure why this is even a question. Mixon is probably gone one way or another, but his production is replaceable. CIN is on the cusp; they'll do whatever it takes too get back to the AFCCG and the SB.

Chase won't sign before Burrow (nor should he). Burrow's deal won't be terribly easy to iron out as it's gonna potentially set records. As for Higgins; really no sense in alienating the guy or diminishing his trade value either way. There's nothing hurt by saying "We're committed to retaining Higgins" all the way up and through the draft.
