You never know. The owner is so cheap he may like the idea of not paying guaranteed money (trading expensive player away) and getting a huge cap hit at the same time, meaning he has to spend less money on the roster. They already suck. Why pay top dollar for it.

You read that ('it reminds me') just a little ... Too Literally.

I don't think it's a question of looking for an example of another situation that is Exactly the same.
There may be very few examples that have SOME similarities. However, there are going to be differences; and you pointed-out a legit difference between Burrow and Stafford.

It's about an unique situation:
An elite-QB on a team with no post-season presence for an extended period of time. That's rare.

It's also about how the business of football has evolved, with Stars having greater control to force trades.

I'm not saying it Will happen. Just suggesting that it Could be headed in that direction, with more disappointing years for the Bengals.

I have been preaching the Possibility of Burrow requesting a trade ... IN 2027 ... since last off-season; and consistently stated that it would take Two More disappointing seasons to be a possibility (2025 and 2026).
Well, 2025 has played-out.

And, IF it was to happen, Cincinnati would probably prefer to move him out of the Conference ... and it might well take an Aggressive, Forward-thinking, Proactive team to make a match ... the Rams qualify.

I always read your posts and read where you think ... No Way.
I don't see any way now, or three months from now ... But ... 15 months from now? ... ... ... Just Maybe

I'm beginning to come around here. Stafford for one more year after that trade for Burrow in '27. I can dig that and would be fucking stoked.

Not that I want to continue this discussion in the transaction thread but something to add to this. If you trade Burrow after the season that is a $56.25 million dead cap hit. One thing nobody is adding into that is those 2 diva WR's they just gave a shit ton of money to. You trade their QB they're going to likewise ask for a trade most likely. Now you're adding another nearly $72 million to that dead cap hit. So moving Joe is going to get your other 2 stars on offense to want similar treatment so now you have cheap ass Brown with a dead cap hit approaching $130 million and the estimated total salary cap next year is around $236 million. I'm sure they would love to field a 53 man roster only using $100 million of cap space.

Only if Stafford wants to retire after 27. If he wants to do a Tom Brady deal get him more protection and receivers and ride it out.
What he is doing rite now is something the NFL has not quite seen before. And I like it.
