Because if someone matched the tender the niners would get a second round pick.

You don't have the Eagles defense. And the Bengals don't draft defense well enough to ever get that defense for that price either.

But that is the elephant in the room - their production wasn't good enough to get to the playoffs when they were playing for their contracts. What are the odds the Bengals will do any better when those guys have their guaranteed money, and the rest of the team has less money to work with?

AJ Brown and Smith are about $25M combined against the Eagles cap this year. $34M combined next year. Pretty sure the two guys making close to $70M combined will be a bit more.

Bro I just quoted a joke from the Grossi skit. I haven't put any actual thought into how the Bungles intend to continue cementing Burrow's future as the next Marino.

Can't wait to see Burrow bitching that everyone but Hendrickson, Tee, him and Chase keep changing every year and that's not a way to build a franchise......

We have no idea what the cap hits will be like for Chase and Tee in future years yet. If you wanted to use the same logic as you are for the Bengals, AJ Brown's number is $33M alone this year, but we all know that's not how the cap actually works.
The cap hit for both this year will total to be around $48M. 17% of the cap. That's all we know.
Burrow won't have any room to bitch because he's the one that wanted this to happen. He pressured the front office to extend both and he got his wish.

No I literally pulled their cap numbers for this year and next in the Eagles case. AJ Brown's actual cap hit this year is $17,591,894. Smith is $7,524,510. It's 9% of the cap combined.

No I know you looked at the actual cap numbers. But you're using the assumption Higgins+Chase contract divided evenly = their cap hit per year. Which is dumb. And I was saying if you used that same logic for AJ Brown his cap hit is $32M per year since his contract was 96M/3 years. And we both know that's not how it works.
And the numbers I used were for Chase+Higgins cap hit this year. Unless in the details of the extension they changed the committed cap money for this upcoming season.

No I had zero assumptions about their actual cap number, actually. I simply gave their total b/c the combined number is pretty crazy, way above anyone else.
I'm not sure full details have been released about both deals yet to know exactly what their numbers will be. Just estimates, currently.

That's an interesting idea. Part of the idea about winning your division, though, is that you get a home playoff game. Obviously all things aren't equal, and some divisions are shit some years, compared to being 2nd or 3rd even in a really strong division.
NFC playoffs for instance would have looked like this:
Detroit (1) - bye
Rams (7) @ Vikings (2) - I think the Vikings would have had tiebreaker over Eagles based on strength of victory
Bucs (6) @ Eagles (3)
Packers (5) @ Commanders (4)
The strangeness here would be that 2 division champs (Bucs, Rams) would be on the road, while 2 wild card teams would be in the 4/5 match up. Also a wild card team would be the 2 seed over another division winner (Vikings > Eagles)
Edit: As for predictions, I think divisional round would have ended up Detroit hosting Rams, and Philly hosting whoever won Packers/Commanders (I'm biased and would say Commanders but Eagles would host either way...and we got to see Eagles v both teams in the actual playoffs, anyways).
