They won’t announce Joe burrow until after 3/31. It has to do with the amount of money going into escrow. If they wait until after 3/31, it gives the bengals a full year. It’s stupid, but that’s the way it is.

Joe Burrow extension timeline

The Bengals ideally would want to have an idea of how much they will be paying their quarterback, and what his long-term cap hit might be sooner than later. But that doesn't mean it will be completed soon.

While the deal is expected to be completed this offseason, The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. reported that the Bengals will need to have guaranteed money saved in an escrow account to pay out top players like Burrow and potentially receivers like Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. And if the Bengals wait to make the agreement until after March 31, they have until March 31, 2024, to have that money in the account.
