CJGJ?

It would just make the board meltdowns from earlier today all the better.

Put this on repeat, let it sink in. Been below the line. No stripes earned in this business from pretending. I’d bet the house on me and my work ethic. Can’t wait to get to work!! @Bengals ?? pic.twitter.com/tACrHhTjDb

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.

We should be the greatest show on turf now. No excuses.

I vividly remember when the ref hit his daddy in the eye with the flag. Seems like it cut short his career.

Now let's take that huge dude from OSU and have the biggest OTs ever

Not a fan of him at all, but his technique is sound and he 100% makes this team better, so I like the move a ton.

Just hope he remains healthy and playing well.

Awesome news!!!

I was waiting for this lol. I didnt expect if from the Bfine though I would have put odds on Sunset or Racer.

If they trade Jonah they owe nothing and have zero cap hit.  If they cut Jonah they would owe the full 12.6 million and all of it would count toward the cap.  Obviously given that scenario they would never cut Jonah.  They either trade Jonah or keep him on the team to be a backup or they move him to LG or RT

Shitty attitude, horribly unathletic, just not a fan.

But he's a great player and he makes the team better.

I'm not a fan of Al Pacino, but he's a superb actor and he undoubtedly makes his films better.

I feel the same. Wasn’t going to say it as I tried to be positive. It’s an upgrade from Williams and that was needed.

We have been so conditioned by Hobspin, we will be scrambling with slide rulers like the Apollo 13 scene trying to figure out how they fit.

The LAST thing you ever try to do is be positive..But it's a new Dey so there's hope

This is awesome news! We are killers in FA under Zac. Love it.

Wont change your opinion but he is saying the right things.

Just spoke to new #Bengals LT Orlando Brown Jr.: "I'm super thankful for the opportunity to carry on my father's legacy and be a left tackle. It was important to be able to play that position and play for a winning team and a winning quarterback. Who Dey!"
