Report: Bengals 'Targeting' This Offseason For Joe Burrow's Extension

Cincinnati has been preparing its financials for this deal.

CINCINNATI — Mike Brown and the Bengals leadership are preparing to pay Joe Burrow his new big deal this offseason.

According to Ian Rapoport, Cincinnati is ready to give Burrow a "big-time" extension.

"My understanding is the Cincinnati Bengals are targeting this offseason for a big time, big money extension for Joe Burrow," Rapoport said. "He's eligible after three years. Obviously, you're gonna give him the fifth-year option but attempt to work out a deal from there."

Burrow is making just $5.5 million in cash next season. That ranks 18th among all NFL quarterbacks. All after he made $3.9 million this season (29th among QBs).

That massive bargain is about to get more expensive, but the Bengals appear ready for the financial juggling act.

Cincinnati and Buffalo meet in the divisional round this Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on CBS. The game is available via fuboTV—start your free trial here.
