Joe Burrow's new deal could get done before kickoff

He is going to get paid bigtime obviously. It will be interesting to see if the Bengals can keep their big 3 at WR going forward.

Notice that Higgins hasn't been resigned yet even though his contract expires at the end of this season. When he was asked about Higgins, Mike Brown gave a treatise on the salary cap and conceded that you can't pay everyone. Here it is:

On ESPN radio this morning they were criticizing the Bengals for not getting the deal done yet.  Funny, I never heard any criticism of the Ravens, especially 2 years ago, when they were in the process of letting Lamar Jackson play through his 5th year option.

Mike Brown has himself, coaches, players, and relatives checking sofa cushions for little Joe Burrow's contract extension.

I would hope so. Crazy it's not done yet. If I'm him there's no way I step on a football field until contract is signed. We're talking a quarter of a billion dollars.

Maybe the Ravens front office have earned some currency through the years, the Bengals front office on the other hand have earned the opposite through the years.

They won't need all 3.  It's a luxury to have such.

Higgins & Boyd are UFAs after this season, and Chase is up the following year. Higgins is a goner for sure, some team will offer him top-10 WR money & no way he'll pass that up, or could Cincy match. They could maybe re-sign Boyd if he comes cheap. I could also see them letting both walk and signing a mid-tier vet & drafting another WR.

 

There is no way they don't make Chase the highest paid WR in the league, and losing other key players is cost of doing that.

The Jaguars have yet to give Trevor Lawrence a new contract.

 

Will he make more than Burrow?

I agree, Chase and Burrow stick together for 4-6 more years. I can see Higgins leave and Boyd possibly cut to keep Hendrickson around another 4-6 years too.

Most likely since he'll sign after.

I don’t know if that’ll be a given -

 

I think tlaw may have some work to do to fully jump the field. He should handily bounce the deals a few years old but don’t know that he will beat burrow weeks to months later

This is the logical scenario, but we are talking about Mike Brown here, a notoriously tight fisted owner.  I could see him balking at paying Chase upwards of $35m per year which is probably what the market will be.  He might just decide to pay Higgins and play hardball with Chase.   If I were their Coach, I would be thinking this year is probably my best shot to win it all before the wheels come off.

The Bengals are notorious when it comes to money for players, let's see how good their front office is now that the bills are due

Burrows is considerably better than Jackson.  Jackson's style is far less sustainable. Risk profile between the two is just very different.

'It's impossible to pay everybody".

 

We know that.  But after Burrows, who you going to "not" pay?  That's the question.

By the looks of that massive 55 million per deal, “everybody”.
