Cincinnati Bengals star Joe Burrows and the Los Angeles Chargers' Justin Herbert are two quarterbacks in line for huge NFL paydays as the teams look to tie down their franchise cornerstones for the foreseeable future.
It comes after the Baltimore Ravens agreed to make Lamar Jackson the NFL's highest-paid player last week. Ten days earlier, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts signed a five-year, $255million deal fresh from leading the franchise to Super Bowl LVII. April also saw Aaron Rodgers restructure his three-year $150m contract after being traded to the New York Jets.
Comparatively, Burrow, 26, is the 21st highest-paid quarterback in the league entering the penultimate season of a now five-year rookie-scale contract. Herbert, 25, is 29th best compensated.
