That's also assuming corporations recognize Burrow more with a SB ring. Matt Stafford won the SB and so far all he's gotten are a few commercials woodenly hocking $6 pizzas and some bank(?) commercial. I expect Burrow to take a team-friendly deal, but I don't think I could sell him on the idea of walking away from a bunch of guaranteed NFL salary for a possibly future deal shilling Subway or something.
Actually, Burrow should be doing commercials as it is. Aaron Rodgers was hocking insurance before he won the SB and Baker Mayfield was in commercials while he was losing.
Let me put it this way...which bank account would you rather have? Joe Burrow's or Flo from the Progressive ads?
Flo reportedly makes over 2 million a year. And that's a job where you don't have to take constant hits. I'd take 2 mil a year to shoot commercials.
Commercial actors make more than you'd think. Not NFL QB money, but way more than you'd think. Friend I went to school with was in a Lowes commercial a couple years ago. Under 5 seconds of screen time, no speaking part, she made well over 50k and it kept going up depending on how often it aired.
