Analysis: The mom-and-pop Bengals need to get serious about Joe Burrow’s future
Brown has to make this right with Burrow ASAP, then worry about what that means for the future of wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase and the rest of his star-studded roster later.
“He has to do this,” agreed one general manager, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he’s not permitted to comment on players under contract to other teams. “I think he gets it done. This didn’t sneak up on him. He sold the [stadium] naming rights. I have to think he’s been putting away $40 million, $50 million a year for a few years now, knowing he’ll have to cut a huge check. Nobody talks about it, but he has one of the best leases in the league.
Perhaps the sides will come to a shorter-term arrangement that would cut down on the escrow payment. What about $165 million for three years, fully guaranteed, with the right to retain the franchise tag in the future and with voidable years to lessen the salary cap drain? Maybe a four-year structure?“If that’s the cost, [Brown] will want to tie him up for six or seven years,” predicted another GM, who spoke under the same restrictions.
It says here they will. No one could be more aware of just how much more valuable Joe Burrow made this family business than Mike Brown himself. It’s time to share the wealth.It’s rare that NFL teams set up succession plans, but by golly if that’s not how league insiders are interpreting recent coaching machinations by the Patriots and Cowboys.
