As Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow aims for another shot at the Super Bowl, he apparently is set to earn a huge raise this offseason. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Bengals are expected to offer Burrow a huge contract extension in the offseason.
Cincinnati still has Burrow under team control for the next two years, assuming they pick up his fifth-year option as expected, but the team already considers him to be its franchise quarterback. As a result, the organization already is planning to extend his pact.
Many teams have used the offseason after their quarterback’s third year to sign that player to a contract extension. Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen and Kyler Murray all received extensions ahead of their fourth year in the league.
