I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.

In hindsight it looks like a massive mistake by the Bengals for not moving up for Anton Harrison. Orlando Brown Jr is pretty damn bad and Jonah Williams just sucks.
Just now got around to looking at Burrow’s contract details. I’m old enough to member when he was going to take a Mahomes like contract.
And the fans are spinning it that it’s a good thing it’s front loaded. Which it’s not. I mean could they have pushed more down the road. Yes. But that thing is not team friendly in the slightest. And that’s the reality of these new QB contacts on shorter deals.

Please correct me if I’m wrong
It's not team friendly in the traditional sense, due to the large overall numbers but with the salary cap being what it is and what it's going to be, it's cap friendly.
He doesn't hit 50M+ until 2027 and by then salary cap is projected to be around 300M. That will drop his percentage to around 18%.
Its gonna be interesting to see how they dance around it. Herbert’s contract was actually very team friendly in the very beginning but the chargers are going to have an absurdly bad cap situation next 2 years. So they had no choice. Bengals have some really hard decisions coming up and some mega contracts but they actually still have a good amount of guys locked in. I assume guys like tee and reader are gonna be hard to sign. They’ll take a few pointed hits but have some time before the bomb hits [Reply]

The only Burrow fit i ever groaned at was that abomination he wore to the SB. Literally, the second i saw that i thought to myself, "fuck, it's over now". [Reply]
