Despite being eligible for a contract extension since the offseason started, Cincinnati Bengals’ star quarterback Joe Burrow still didn’t get one. But the good news for the Bengals’ fans is that the two sides are working on it.

Burrow confirmed the ongoing extension talks during a press conference on Tuesday but said that he and the Bengals prefer to keep the details to themselves.

“I’m involved. That’s in the works,” Burrow told reporters. “That’s not really something that I like to play out in the media. That’s something — just the way, I think, they want to do business, I want to do business, we prefer to keep that between us.”

This offseason already saw two young star quarterbacks sign new long-term deals with their franchises. The Philadelphia Eagles signed Jalen Hurts to a five-year, $255 million contract in mid-April, followed by the Baltimore Ravens, who inked Lamar Jackson to a five-year, $260 million deal.

Their respective deals caused Hurts and Jackson to become the highest-paid players in the leagues at one point, and the same will likely happen with Burrow when he inks an extension of his own.

In his three seasons with the Bengals, Joe Burrow completed 68.2 percent of his passes while throwing for 11,774 yards and 82 touchdowns. He led the franchise to consecutive AFC Championship trips in the past two seasons and a Super Bowl XXIII appearance in 2021.

The Cincinnati Bengals know that the day when they will have to pay quarterback Joe Burrow is coming soon. And it appears they are prepared to do that without batting an eye.

Speaking at a media gathering on Monday, Bengals’ president Mike Brown told reporters that the entire focus of the franchise is to keep Burrow as their quarterback.

“I can tell you that we couldn’t be happier with Joe Burrow,” Brown said. “He’s everything you would wish for, especially for a quarterback in Cincinnati. Our whole focus is going to be on keeping him here.”

Brown said that he’s aware of the salaries for top signal-callers but still hasn’t given it a thought about the number Burrow might command.

“Really, I haven’t thought about it much right now,” he added.

The good thing for Brown is that he has one more year before an extension for Burrow becomes a pressing issue. The former LSU star is heading into the third year of his rookie deal and will become an extension—eligible in the 2023 NFL offseason.

After a knee injury derailed his rookie season, Joe Burrow showed in 2021 that the Bengals made the right choice when they selected him No.1 overall two years ago. Burrow finished the regular part of the campaign with 4,611 yards, 34 touchdowns, and 14 picks before leading Cincinnati to a Super Bowl appearance. This was the first Super Bowl trip for the Bengals in 33 years.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow didn’t manage to lead his team to a win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 5, but he at least got a new fan. And that’s none other than reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers.

During his weekly appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers revealed that he’s impressed with Burrow and how he has been playing since entering the league.

“I’m a Joe Burrow fan, and I enjoy the way he goes about his business. I enjoy the way he plays with confidence,” Rodgers told host Pat McAfee.

Rodgers then detailed a chat he had with Burrow after the game when he told the 2020 first-round pick that he needs to “slide” more.

“You’ve got so much in front of you to accomplish in this league…sometimes you gotta just slide,” the Packers’ signal-caller told Burrow.

Rodgers referred to Burrow occasionally running with the ball and trying to gain yards by breaking tackles instead of sliding to the ground to protect himself as most other QBs do.

Joe Burrow is putting together an impressive campaign in 2021, completing 71.7 percent of his passes while throwing for 1,269 yards and 11 touchdowns through the first five weeks of the season. His stellar performances fueled Cincinnati to a 3-2 record and second spot in AFC North.

It is safe to say that Cincinnati Bengals’ rookie quarterback Joe Burrow is living up to the hype steamed from his selection as the No.1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. After promising performances in previous weeks, Burrow led the Bengals to a 33-25 win over Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday while making history in the process.

Burrow finished the contest by completing 25 out of 36 passes attempted, throwing for 300 yards, and a touchdown. This marked his third straight game in which he had 300 or more passing yards, which no rookie in NFL history managed to accomplish before.

This was the second week in which Burrow set an NFL record. In Week 3, the 23-year-old LSU product clocked 91 completions, which is ever by a QB through hist first three NFL starts.

“We got the win, that’s all I care about,” said Burrow after the game. “It feels good to win, I’m gonna do whatever it takes to win football games. I’ll throw it zero or 100 times, I’ll throw for seven or 500 it doesn’t matter to me.”

Besides more-than-solid play by Burrow, the Bengals also benefited from a big night from running back Joe Mixon, who exploded for 151 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns while adding another catch TD.

So far, Joe Burrow-led Bengals are playing above expectations, sitting at a 1-2-1 record. Their real test, however, comes next week when they head to Baltimore where they will face high-flying Ravens.
