And I don't know, just based on the on-field body of work, that he is the sort of player that you sell your soul for.

It could be proven wrong.

It's happened many times.

But that's my take.

Well, it's a sign, but the bigger sign is Joe Burrow has said himself, I'm happy here.

I love what the front office has done.

We have everything we need.

He's kind of put the onus on himself, right?

When you say we have everything we need, that means you've got to go get it done.

And I think you could say the same thing about Zach Taylor.

But yeah, I think it certainly suggests right now that Joe Burrow and the Bengals have a good working relationship with each other.

They have been very busy this offseason.

They've gone all in for 2026 with the trade for Dexter Lawrence.

If things go sideways, who knows what we're going to be saying about the relationship between Joe Burrow and the Bengals.

But I think mechanically speaking, number one,

You know, Joe offered to do this.

Number two, once he did that, they had no choice because, you know, a lot of folks, when they restructured the contract, which was just to free up about $10 million worth of cap space, that in all likelihood wasn't to go get another free agent.

That wasn't to go add somebody from the outside.

to get through the season because, you know, when guys get hurt, you've got to go sign a Joe Flacco or train for a Joe Flacco.

You've got to go get guys during training camp because maybe there's an injury.
