Justin Herbert Agrees to Mega Deal With Chargers. Is Joe Burrow Next?
Transcript
00:00 And he got paid and he should have gotten paid because he's one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL
00:04 But he's not better than Joe Burrow and I know there's been plenty of people that have speculated about Joe Burrow and
00:12 Him potentially waiting on Justin Herbert
00:15 well
00:16 if he was waiting the wait should be over because Justin Herbert according to
00:21 Multiple reports NFL Network was the first to report though has agreed to a five-year
00:27 2.5 million dollar contract extension with the Los Angeles Chargers
00:31 He will make 100 million dollars in year one, which is a new NFL record
00:35 The old was 80 million dollars and so it's front-loaded for the Chargers star
00:40 He's a guy that
00:43 Is obviously established himself as one of the NFL's best quarterbacks and yet he hasn't brought the same success to the Chargers that Joe Burrow
00:49 Has to the Bengals so naturally you can see why some have speculated
00:52 That Burrow would wait do I buy that?
00:56 Maybe to a degree
00:57 I don't think that Burrow will admit it and he's going to talk on Wednesday and we will have that for you right here
01:02 on Cincinnati Bengals talk but
01:04 that said
01:06 The blueprint is now there
01:08 All of the Mike Brown interviews that we played for you and we had here on Monday
01:12 And if you missed it go watch it go watch Duke Tobin all of the speculation all offseason
01:17 well now it's set because Lamar Jackson got paid Jalen Hurts got paid and
01:22 Justin Herbert just got paid. So now it is time for Joe Burrow. And so whether it's paid course Stadium
01:28 Everyone called it paid Joe Stadium. Now's the time and
01:31 What a time it's going to be
01:33 when the Bengals get this deal done and notice I say when not if I have confidence that they're going to get it done as
01:38 an organization, I think they know that they
01:41 they have to and
01:44 Mike Brown saying that he's the heart of the organization. He's the heart and soul of the organization and
01:50 Probably you could say multiple limbs as well
01:52 If you're gonna say heart and soul
01:54 Or maybe you want to go the organ route
01:56 The point is is he means so much to the city certainly so much to the franchise. And so
02:01 What could the deal look like? Well, that's it
02:04 I mean you're looking at a contract and let me pull up some of the particulars here
02:08 I'll receive two hundred and eighteen point seven million dollars in guarantees
02:13 He's 25 under contract through the 2029 season. Like I said 262 point five million dollars
02:19 and so
02:20 The thing that stands out to me is the five-year contract if
02:23 Burrow can sign it for at least five years on an extension
02:26 It will give the Bengals at least some cap flexibility to potentially keep T Higgins to potentially keep
02:32 Jamar chase when he's eligible for an extension keep some other
02:35 Quality players that are on this roster because you can move around that cap space a little bit
