In this story:

CINCINNATI — Bengals star quarterback Joe Burrow is eligible for a contract extension this offseason. 

The team is expected to sign the 26-year-old to a long-term deal that will likely make him the NFL's highest-paid quarterback. 

What could the contract look like? How will it be structured? 

Salary cap expert Andre Perrotta shared a proposal that would keep Burrow in Cincinnati for the next 10 seasons. 

He has one year left on his rookie contract and the Bengals will certainly exercise Burrow's fifth-year option for 2024, which will be worth $29.5 million. 

Perrotta has Cincinnati inking Burrow to an 8-year, $408 million extension with $142.6 million fully guaranteed at signing and over $240 million in total guarantees.
