Joe Burrow Rumors: Bengals QB Wants to Structure New Contract to Keep Weapons

The Cincinnati Bengals have one of the best young cores in the NFL, but many of those young players will be due for significant contract extensions in the near future that could force the group to be split up.

One of those players is quarterback Joe Burrow, though Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase said during a recent interview that the 2020 No. 1 overall pick wants to structure his contract in a way that will allow Cincinnati to keep all of its best players.

"At the end of the day, I don't think Joe's really too worried about how much money he's going to make because he's already making a tremendous amount. It'll work out for us. I think Joe knows what he wants and how he wants to set up his contract to keep some of his weapons around him, and I think that's the biggest part for him," Chase said on NFL Network.
