Will Joe Burrow's contract go down as the worst NFL contract of all time? (alien.top)

He had huge red flags in terms of injuries (missing the end of 2018 and now will likely miss the rest of this season), and is making Jamarcus Russell’s deal look like a bargain.

Cincinnati could have been a SB contender with a decent QB and instead they gave their fans a 275m quarterback who can't stay healthy.

It's not the contract that was the misstep for the Bengals, it's what they did around Burrow. We flopped on properly drafting and developing offensive line talent, Taylor and Callahan have overrated offensive scheme and bad playcalling, and relying purely on the draft for defense the past 2 seasons is finally biting us. The NFL is so QB dependent you can't fault spending what we spent on the guy, but you can fault not doing the best you can to properly build around him.
