Joe Burrow huge extension 5 years $275 million now highest paid QB

[Saxum]

 

Twice on Fox between games show they called the Bengals the Beagles.

 

Presidents is very appropriate since that is what is on bills.

14/31 for 82 yards....that’s what the highest paid player in the NFL produced today🤣🤣🤣

With all the endorsements JA17 doing he might not command a high salary see Brady approach.

 As well he did invest a nice chunk of his money into his family's farm to add the pistachios trees that will keep his family secure far as money in future.

 

Speaking of which saw the pizza commercial with Fitzpatrick as one of the nfl players.  Good for him racking g up more money.

Allen has never came close to such a horrid stat line even as a rookie.

About $25,000 per yard gained in the air.  Well done sir.

“Joe Cool” is a top 5 QB in the NFL.  He had to get paid.  His performance today against a revved up Browns defense was that of a tentative, injury compromised QB. How long this level of play lasts is anyone’s guess, but I would be a little concerned about his ability to stay healthy for the long haul.

LMAO. Are you related to Burrow or his agent? 
 

It’s OPENING DAY in the NFL. EVERYBODY should be “revved up.”

 

You may be right though about him still being injured, and that was all the more reason not to give him so much guaranteed money. As I’ve said many times, NFL owners may be filthy rich, but that doesn’t mean they’re geniuses, or even above average “smart.”

Looked like a pile of turds today.

Did you watch the game? Cleveland’s defense was not only getting tremendous pressure on Burrows but smothering the best receiver group in the game. Now they usually have Cinci’s number, but they flustered Burrow and made him look ordinary.

Burrow wasn’t right. Shouldn’t have played. Gimpy leg in a rain storm is less than ideal.

I don't think the "escrow" money is sewn into some mattress.  It's in some sort of an account making money.

I’m sure it’s not, but we’re not privy to all the requirements. Regardless, the options and flexibility that Pegula or Kraft has available are vastly different than other owners like Brown and Davis who rely on the team for income. That capital flexibility is one reason the Bills can restructure players whenever it’s beneficial.

Lol @ the people Lol’ing @ burrow due to his contract.  Dude had a bad game.  He’ll live up to his contract and sign an even bigger extension in a few years.

I’m sure he won’t look that bad later in he season against the Bills…

[Buffalo Boy]

   Kinda sickening to see “ Bills fans” participating in the Burrow Knob shine phenomenon!

   He sucked today . He lost which is good for us……. Try enjoying it instead of protecting him🤷‍♂️

The Bengals haven't played well against the Browns for many years now. They don't stack up well against them. You know who they do stack up well against though?...🥺

I believe it is 1-5 after today's game with the one win coming last season

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

What Burrow needs now is probably a good five cent cigar...😇😁

[Dr.Sack]

Burrow looked like a QB who can't escape pressure and can't grip the ball with smallerish hands. Horrible way to start the contract extension. Burrow is not the best at escaping pressure so you have to invest a near fortune to build him a top 5 OL. That takes away from his weapons.

Fwiw.. I don’t think this is a fair assessment to make until we see McDermott’s Defense go up against them. 
 

If it’s more of the same, so be it.  
 

Burrow is less mobile, less arm talent, more accuracy, timing and cerebral processing - paired with elite receiving weapons.   That’s why he struggles against a physical pressure defense like the Browns, but carves up a predictable Tampa 2.
