Joe Burrow Set For "Mega-Contract Extension" This Offseason

According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, former LSU quarterback Joe Burrow is expected to get a big-time contract extension from the Cincinnati Bengals this offseason.

quote:
Sources say the Bengals are targeting this offseason for a Burrow mega-contract extension, as their standout has finished the third year of his rookie contract. Burrow made roughly $3.9 million in cash year this year, per Spotrac, and he has one year remaining on his rookie deal in addition to a fifth-year option Cincinnati can pick up this offseason.

An extension will be expensive, with Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray's $46.1 million per year average serving as the floor for negotiations. Helping pay for a portion of Burrow's eventual payday is what fans have taken to calling PayJoe Stadium.

Prior to the 2022 regular season, the Bengals sold the naming rights to Paul Brown Stadium for the first time ever. It's now Paycor Stadium, which brings in a figure that the Cincinnati Business Courier estimated at $8-9 million per year.

In three seasons in the NFL, Burrow has won five playoff games and led the Bengals to the Super Bowl in his second year in the league.

A win on Sunday vs. the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship would send Cincinnati back to the Super Bowl for a second consecutive year.

We truly did not understand what we had.

The good news is, Ohio State definitely did not understand what they had.

I am almost as excited with the Bengals in the post-season as I would be if the Saints were there.

In the words of Teddy KGB..."Pay that man. Pay that man his money."

Have you invited Joe into your heart?

Joe may become a $500 million dollar man.

Lamar Jackson decided not to play in the playoffs because he didn't want to risk injury for his extension. I'm glad Burrow is LSUs own instead of that Louisville reject

Cincinnati is paying Joe. Lamar is a different story.

MadMartigen•40 months

I hope they give him a Scrooge McDuck style moneybin he can swim around in. He deserves every bit of it!

Timeoday•40 months

Joe will probably say he is willing to sacrifice hispay because we need offensive lineman and I want to break records. Joe will also say I am a genius and can make up the sacrificial difference 10 times over with endorsements and ROI income.

If you’re gonna invest big in someone, he would be a good one to do so. He doesn’t seem like the type who’s gonna take his foot off the gas once he gets paid.

Problem is if they pay him that much they won't be able to pay some of their other big stars, according to an analyst I heard the other day talking about Joe's future paychecks.

Dubaitiger•40 months

I am more excited with the Bengals than the Saints now... During the regular season and especially in the playoffs

gerkin•40 months

Happy for him, i just hope they can keep winning if they cant afford all their current talent

TBoy•40 months

Worth every penny.

Damathe•40 months

Gotta think it's forever and will average 60 but tons of lawyers already working on the cap hit with any and all options including part ownership considered.

kjanchild•40 months

I also believe he will take a team friendly contract like Tom Brady!

cajunmud•40 months

Can the Saints pay it?

Sev09•40 months

Of course not, and thank God.

Gaston•40 months

Today, in “no-shite?” news.

There’s got to be a way around the salary cap. Like endorsements or a percent of team. That way they can pay the other players.

HubbaBubba•40 months

I think, whatever benefits his agent the most is where it'll go. If you were his agent, and got, say, 7% of his salary for negotiating it, are you going to go in and say, "Hey, we want to be a 'TEAM PLAYER' and take 25% less than market 'for the team'"? Let's say the market is $60 mill a year. Take 25% off that, and it's now down to $45 mill a year for Joe, but you just cost yourself 7% of $15 mill ($1.05 million). Unless you are also the agent for those other star athletes, I don't see you negotiating for the other players and making it up on their contracts. So, while Joe may feel that way, his agent is still responsible for managing the negotiations for Joe's best benefit overall.

They will mess this up watch and see
