Boy, that rookie (pre-injury) season he was almost unblockable.

2nd contracts are often the costliest.

If we're going to do a 2nd contract for anybody, we should make a run at BDJ, QB Jeaux Burreaux. Would Cincy be crazy enough to drag it out like the Lamar Jackson saga?

I doubt it. The whole ordeal with Jackson is his style of play. Way too much risk to buy in that much. Burrow doesn't present anywhere near that degree of risk.

No

Joe Cool will retire a Bengal.

This. The Chase Young thing seems to risky for us. For a team like Atlanta or Chicago that has lots of cap room, they are in a better situation to roll those dice.
