BREAKING NEWS! The Cincinnati Bengals have signed QB Joe Burrow to a record-breaking five-year, $275 million contract to make him the highest-paid player in history, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. The deal includes $219.01 million in guarantees.
Since Bengals QB Joe Burrow suffered a calf injury in training camp, much of the discussion surrounding the team has been focused on his health. As NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport noted Thursday, what we should be eyeing is the mega contract extension the team is working to get done ahead of the 2023 season.
“There is confidence that Joe Burrow will get a new deal before kickoff,” Rapoport noted.
