Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals agreed to a five-year, $275 million contract extension, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Thursday night.
The $219 million in guarantees make him the highest-paid player in league history, according to the report.
Speculation around the 26-year-old's impending contract swirled all offseason after other top quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts and Justin Herbert all signed then-record deals. A calf strain during training camp further cast doubt on Burrow's Week 1 availability and complicated contractual matters a bit more.
