    $64 million over 4 years. Over the last two years, Burrows has been the most sacked QB in the NFL.

    This definitely fills a big need for an already excellent team.

    Big time front loaded contract. Like, $42 million in the first two years. Got to plan for Burrows contract.

    $31 million signing bonus. This is probably why the Steelers had to bow out.

    For cap cost it really isn't a front loaded contract as they spread the bonus out over the length of the contract.

    For the Owner, he needs to immediately pull $31 million out of his account and hand it over to the player. This is why the Rooney's always have used those large roster bonus's instead of signing bonuses, so they don't have to come up with that much cash at the time of the signing.

    Roster bonuses are generally not guaranteed at signing, so teams can avoid them if a player doesn’t work out and needs to be cut. That’s the main reason that roster bonuses are used.

    That’s a huge contract, it’s arguable weather Brown is worth that but they had to do something to sort that LT position out once and for all. Brown is above average and will probably do a good job there.

    Bengals have a lot of big decisions coming up. They have to pay Burrow and Chase as well as Brown, then things get much harder and holes start appearing at key positions as they struggle to keep their second tier / supporting players. Guys like Mixon, Higgins and others could find themselves on new teams sooner than later. They had to let Bates and Bell go this offseason.
