Joe Burrow’s contract extension could shock the entire NFL
Joe Burrow is definitely one of the best players in the league. Tom Brady has even surrendered to his talent by saying that he is one of the top-four quarterbacks of the new generations that could surpass him soon.
Burrow led the Bengals to the Super Bowl LVI. Unfortunately for their cause, they lost to the Los Angeles Rams in an exciting match. However, Cincinnati is confident that the quarterback will succeed and that’s why, with two years left on his rookie contract, they are set to offer him a contract extension.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Bengals are already working on a long-term deal for Burrow. This extension would make him the highest-paid player in the league, above Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson, who recently agreed terms with the Eagles and Ravens, respectively.
