CINCINNATI - For the first time this offseason, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow divulged key details in a contract restructure that could help the franchise sign key players to long-term deals.
In an extended interview with the "Pardon My Take" podcast released on Wednesday, Burrow was asked to describe how his five-year, $275 million contract extension signed in 2023 could be altered and help give the Bengals extra salary cap flexibility to ink wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins to the lucrative extensions they're seeking.
"You could convert some of the money to a signing bonus, which will lower the cap hit," Burrow said.
