Yeah in Tobins big presser weeks before these deals someone asked if they would consider restructuring Burrow to fee up money. He was so opposed to that word you'd think it was a swear word which it probably is in the Brown family.
I guess we should be happy they got the deals done and have the team here, but thankfully they don't slap us in the face with it like Reds ownership has.
