CONTRACT FINALIZED!!! - pally - 09-07-2023
$55 million per year...wow not bad for a cheap franchise
A record deal: Joe Burrow has reached agreement with the Bengals on an 5-year, $275 million extension that includes $219.01 million guaranteed and makes him the highest-paid player in NFL history, sources tell ESPN. pic.twitter.com/6GttDs7zk6

Okay, everyone exhale
RE: CONTRACT FINALIZED!!! - Synric - 09-07-2023
Burrow got paid damn 219 guaranteed. That's like what 80%?

Joe Burrow is now the fourth quarterback this off-season to sign a market resetting contract extension:

Would have preferred longer than 5 years but I’m still super happy that it’s done.
RE: CONTRACT FINALIZED!!! - Bengalion - 09-07-2023
Finally, now I can watch Mahomes getting sacked because thr Chiefs WR corp is garbage.
RE: CONTRACT FINALIZED!!! - NUGDUKWE - 09-07-2023
Nice!!! I just saw this on Twitter. Glad we got it done and Burrow definitely deserves it.
RE: CONTRACT FINALIZED!!! - Au165 - 09-07-2023
Deal was done all day…waited to announce it the minute Mahomes steps on the field.
RE: CONTRACT FINALIZED!!! - bfine32 - 09-07-2023
Glad it's done, but it appears to be pretty basic. Coulda done this the day after Herbert signed.

Should be 5 years on top of the 2 he has remaining. I imagine they will pick up his 5th year option first and really make it a 7 year deal.

Wow, that's more than I thought.
Still, glad it's done.
Hopefully, Higgins is announced shortly after.

They did it to throw shade at chiefs.
RE: CONTRACT FINALIZED!!! - KillerGoose - 09-07-2023
This is more than I anticipated. I was thinking $54MM would be tops. Also got a huge guarantee. Super happy this is done.
RE: CONTRACT FINALIZED!!! - BengalsLUFC - 09-07-2023
Need to see the breakdown not a massive expert on American sports contracts but that makes keeping Higgins nigh on impossible with Chase going for a record breaking contract next year doesn’t it?
Over the moon it’s finally done deserves every penny he awoke a sleeping giant.
Now go win us a ring.

I hope KC is not that much in our heads.

There was an article today talking about how a Higgins deal isn’t expected anytime soon, and that he/his agent are waiting for Jefferson/Lamb to set the market. I personally don’t believe he will be here long term.

Maybe the guaranteed portion? That’s A LOT of guaranteed money.
