Breaking News: Joe Burrow Joins Ranks of Top-Earning Players
Cincinnati's QB Becomes Highest-Paid in League
Joe Burrow, quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals, has become the highest-paid player in NFL history. The Bengals' new contract with Burrow puts him ahead of Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson, and Justin Herbert, who were previously the league's highest-paid players.
Burrow's contract is a four-year extension that will pay him $230 million in guaranteed money. He will also receive a signing bonus of $40 million.
The move by the Bengals to make Burrow the highest-paid player in the league is a sign of their commitment to him and their belief that he is the future of the franchise.
Burrow's rise to the top of the NFL's salary ranks is a testament to his talent and his potential. He was the overall No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft and has quickly established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the league.
In 2022, Burrow led the Bengals to their first Super Bowl appearance in over 30 years. He threw for 4,611 yards and 34 touchdowns during the regular season and added another 941 yards and eight touchdowns in the playoffs.
