Bengals Exercise 5th-Year Option for QB Joe Burrow Amid Contract Talks

Cincinnati picked up the fifth-year option in Joe Burrow's rookie deal, guaranteeing him $29.5 million for 2024.
The Bengals plan to negotiate a long-term extension with Burrow, their star quarterback.
Burrow has led Cincinnati to success, including a Super Bowl appearance this year, in his first two seasons.
Burrow's eventual new contract could make him one of the highest-paid QBs in the NFL.
The Bengals selected Burrow with the No. 1 pick in the 2020 draft.
