Report: Details emerge for the contract Joe Burrow is expected to sign
Perhaps Joe Burrow can move out of his parents’ basement soon!
On Monday evening, ESPN’s Field Yates reported details of the contract the former LSU star is expected to sign over the coming weeks.
Per Yates, the deal will be for 4 years (with a fifth-year option) and is worth more than $36 million, with nearly $24 million of that as a signing bonus:
The value for the contract that Joe Burrow will eventually sign with the Bengals has been set: the four-year deal (plus a fifth year option) will be worth $36,190,137 with a $23,880,100 signing bonus.

That’s certainly not a bad payday for the No. 1 overall pick who will be heading to Cincinnati to start preparations for the 2020 season as soon as stay-at-home orders are lifted and teams can resume operations.
How will Burrow fare this fall? We’ll find out (hopefully) soon enough.
