Over the moon it’s finally done deserves every penny he awoke a sleeping giant.

Now go win us a ring.

Joe Burrow had 2 years and $41M remaining on his contract.

This extension will make the total remaining deal 7 years for $316M.

Burrow’s contract now takes him through 2029. 5 years, $275 million comes to $55 million AAV.

The only way we had a shot at keeping all 3 was if all 3 were willing to not push for market setting deals. Stinks players like Mahomes and Watt were willing to and they weren't but that's life.
