Before drafting Joe Burrow, the Bengals hadn't won a playoff game since 1991. They're one of the NFL's best teams now — and by extending him, they secured their future.
is now the NFL's highest-paid player just as Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs kicked off the 2023 season.
Beyond the eye-popping number that includes $219 million guaranteed, it speaks to the NFL's biggest appeal — its parity.It sounds insane now, but there were plenty who wondered back in 2020 whether Burrow should even play for Cincinnati. The LSU quarterback was a no-doubt No. 1 overall pick after running away with the Heisman Trophy and leading the Tigers to a national championship.
Safe to say, the decision to declare was worthwhile for both parties. Days before opening their season against the Cleveland Browns, the Bengals have one of the most feared rosters in the league, are widely expected to contend for a spot in Super Bowl LVIII and it's all led by their $55 million quarterback.
Ja'Marr Chase isn't eligible to talk extension until this season is over, but you can bet Burrow will want the Bengals to re-sign his LSU teammate, who has reached the Pro Bowl in each of his first two years. Whenever that number comes out, rest assured it'll be a big one.Strange as it might sound, getting this deal done should help the Bengals. Burrow is now locked in place through his early 30s, which provides plenty of flexibility to maneuver his money.
