Joe Burrow is the highest paid player in NFL history!
Nick Bosa will not last long at the top of the biggest contract extensions of the offseason and it is completely deserved. With 275 million over five years, here is Joe Burrow crowned with the status of the highest paid player in the history of the NFL as confirmed by Adam Schefter.
An extension that comes at the right time for the Bengals a few days before starting a season that many see ending at the Super Bowl. With nearly 55 million per year, the quarterback who allowed the Cincinnati franchise to become a real contender is now locked in for the long term.
Since joining the NFL in 2020, the LSU product has led the league with a 70.4% pass completion rate in 2021. Last season, he completed 68.3% of his passes for 4,475 yards and a career-high 35 touchdowns, finishing fourth in the MVP race.
