Joe Burrow is now eligible to be given a long-term extension that could see him become one of the highest paid players in the NFL.
Earlier this off-season, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts briefly became the highest-paid player in NFL history, before the Baltimore Ravens gave an even bigger deal to Lamar Jackson.
Like Burrow, Hurts had come from the 2020 draft class - being the fourth quarterback drafted behind Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert.
