Actual cap hits for '25 are:
Burrow - 46M

Tee - 26M
Trey - 19M
OBj - 15M
Total - 128M

If Burrow restructures, the actual cap hits will be more like
Burrow - 30M
Chase - 10M
Tee - 26M
Trey - 20M
OBj - 15M
Total - 101M

30M would be a ceiling for a new Burrow contract. Could go down to 19M or so. The Chase contract would be sub 20M for the first 2 years before going up and the Tee contract would be the reverse--big money early then dwindling later--to stack so the contracts don't hit big in the same year. The cap goes up each year and the Bengals will have 44Mish this year + another 30Mish after a couple cuts.

The problem is, they're going to need to stop being dumb and realize you only have a short time to take advantage of an elite QB and they've already wasted 5 years of his career with nothing to show. They need to be willing to push money, use void years and pay guarantees.

Priority 1 and 1A will the improvements to the Oline--they need 2 new guards--and then the D, where they need 3 new guys. You could argue, since they have guys coming off SE injuries, they could just go after 1 guy for the Dline and a safety. After OBj's 15M, they have 2 guys making 10M per and one of them could be cut. Rankins will be gone.

If we're talking, is it a good idea to sign Ja'Marr, Tee and Trey to raises, the answer is 'not really' but if we're talking can they do it, the answer is yeah, they can.
Chiefs are coming for Trey this offseason. He will be a thorn in the Been’gals side the entirety of his second contract! Besides wouldn’t you rather him win a championship or 3 instead of being the best player on a bad defense?
