Burrow is taking a page out of the book of the legendary Tom Brady who, throughout his illustrious career while still making eye-watering amounts, opted for team friendly deals to save cap space and allow players to be paid what they were worth. “I’m pretty clear on what I want in the contract and what I think is best for myself and the team and we’re on the road to making that happen,” Burrow told reporters.
