You have been watching football for a long time? Interesting. Not sure if that is true or not as your posts don’t reflect that. Perhaps this is another tall tale like your “investment clients” that you were just “joking” about until exposed. Most likely your Bengals fandom is the same and you became a “fan” about midway through last year.

How exactly am i supposed to reply to someone who appears to be giving me a lesson on how NFL teams operate when i've been watching the NFL closely for 44 years, having the experience of seeing how the team i root for operates compared to how other teams operate--specifically following contracts and structure?

Am i supposed to intrinsically just not know because i've never had a QB like Burrow who is going to get paid? No, because the Bengals had a QB like that named Carson Palmer and i've already pointed out where that didn't work out so well because Mike Brown. Mike Brown is now hands off, as i've explained multiple times as well and based on the team's current MO is different than it has ever been and, again, as i've already posted, they finally sold the naming rights to the stadium and use other never-before-used revenue streams so that they have the cash they need in escrow for guarantees and they've started structuring contracts in a more 'normal NFL way' for a few years now, based on what other teams have done.

TL;DR I was already aware of how that works, but thank you for taking the time to type it out, just in case.
