Joe Burrow negotiating contract to ‘keep his weapons,’ Chase says.

CINCINNATI (WXIX) - The Bengals will roll out a parade of riches on offense again next year. The challenge is keeping all that talent together for the duration of quarterback Joe Burrow’s “championship window.”

Burrow, who has said he wants to stay in Cincinnati his “whole career,” appears to be taking that into consideration.

“Joe knows how he wants to set up his contract to keep his weapons around him,” Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase said on the NFL Network’s Wednesday Super Bowl Live show.

Burrow will play the 2023 season on the last year of his four-year rookie deal, ranked as the fourth best bargain deal in the NFL. He and the Bengals will begin negotiating his new contract, which is expected to be among the largest in the league at his position, this offseason.


The NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport says the Bengals are expected to sign Burrow to his fifth-year option, which teams must decide on before the May 1 deadline, as extension talks take place.

Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is also going into the last year of his rookie deal, and there’s less certainty about his future. Slot receiver Tyler Boyd is entering a contract season as well and is set to earn $8.9M on a $10.2M cap hit, leaving some to wonder whether the Bengals might move on from him.

Cincinnati will need money to ink Chase to a long-term deal after next year.

This is exactly why the Patriots were dominant for 15 years. TB took massive pay cuts to keep the players around him. Smart move. It helped he was married to a mega star worth hundreds of millions, but still.

They need O line help...and a TE.

If they can add the uga te Washington, it would add such a unique advantage to that offense. They like to run, and he essentially gives you an extra tackle, while keeping a smaller safety or olb in the box. He's also a freak receiving threat for his size, and considering how he'd be target option #3-5, most plays, would be iso on linebackers most of the time coverage wise.

Also helps if 6'7 275 is the te chipping an edge rush guy for protection purposes.

If Joe is smart and wants one or more Super Bowl rings, that's what he has to do. Keep the receivers, get another RB because Mixon may be done, and beef up that line.

Too bad Breese was never willing to do this. The Saints might have won a couple more titles if he would have been willing to do the same thing Brady did. Successful quarterbacks have more opportunity to make big endorsement deals than any other position. Seems like a smart business decision to take less money, and extend your career by keeping good players around you.

Brees is a compromised clown, but did he not renegotiate a few times to bring/keep guys?

You have to sometimes choose legacy vs money.

And what people don’t realize is they actually get more money up front, Brady was constantly restructuring his deal every year or two and they converted his annual to a signing bonus

So if he has an intelligent money manager, he can do wonders

Self vs. Selfless

Its in all the important books

Yet it is rarely mastered

And, then, there is Joe Burrow

He sees the big picture and balance that gets the riches that matter in the end

He needs to get an offensive line and they'll win multiple superbowls. Period.

But when LeBron, Wade and Bosh took paycuts too attract other players who wanted to win championships, they were gutless for forming a "Big 3" Super team instead of staying in their shitty markets and trying to win with lousy supporting casts.

Saints got Brees on a very cheap contract ($60 mil I think) when he first showed up. He wanted to cash in later but yeah that caused some issues with keeping guys.

They also got lucky and unlucky in TE dept
Bill B said Gronk was a freshman at Arizona
Caught 8 passes
Sophomore caught 29 passes missed 1 game
Junior year broke a bone and had back surgery
So there wasn’t a lot to go on
Then drafted A H great numbers All- SEC
Killed combine and then killed people
It’s a crap shoot

Smart until you get a divorce and get caught up in a Dim money fraud scheme

Never trust a Dim

The 'discount' will be $40 mil a year instead of $50 mil.

It's funny chase mentions Joe's willing to take one for the team to stay together but does chase do the same when contract time comes around for him? He seems like a team player and knows Joe and him could win some superbowls if he stays with him.
