This offseason, the Bengals want to offer Joe Burrow a sizable contract.
A huge Joe Burrow deal might materialize as early as this offseason.
Burrow has one more season left on his rookie deal and a fifth-year option, but the Bengals want to extend their star quarterback this offseason, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
If a deal is struck, the LSU product who guided the Bengals to last year's Super Bowl might set the market for quarterbacks. During that run, the Bengals won their first division since 2015 and their first playoff game since 1990.
@jakadiya Rapoport claims that the annual average salary of $46.1 million in Kyler Murray's contract will serve as the starting point for Burrow's discussions. The season's salary for the 26-year-old Burrow is $3.9 million.
Because of Burrow's influence on the Bengals' business, which has improved due to increased attendance and a surge of sponsorships brought on by the team's success, the small-market franchise is able to afford to keep him.
On January 22, 2023, in Orchard Park, New York, Joe Burrow warms up before playing the Buffalo Bills in an NFL Divisional Round playoff game.
Burrow, the top pick in the 2020 draft, has been responsible for their remarkable comeback. Even in Burrow's debut season, the Bengals went 2-14 and finished worst for the third consecutive year.
