His agent has even told them that they have a massive offer from an XFL team for 2 years and he is not afraid to take it if he has to play for the Bengals. Is that posturing? I have no idea nor does the source. We know the player who the Bengals will likely take if they don't get Burrow and its not a QB.
This part doesn't make sense. I think the salary cap for an entire team in the XFL is around $4 million or so, so they cannot get a massive offer that would scare any NFL team.
