Nobody thought twice when Joe Burrow got a five-year, $275 million contract extension from the Cincinnati Bengals. Burrow was one of the best quarterbacks in football. It was an obvious call.
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - OCTOBER 01: Harold Landry III #58 of the Tennessee Titans sacks Joe Burrow #9 of the Cincinnati Bengals during the fourth quarter at Nissan Stadium on October 01, 2023 in Nashville, Tennessee. To be clear, nobody is backtracking on Burrow getting that deal or his status as one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks. In fact, the confidence in Burrow is why the Bengals’ struggles on offense are so perplexing.
It starts with questions about how to fix the offense. As with most things in the NFL, it's not just one thing that has derailed Cincinnati. Multiple factors are contributing to the mess. Then there's Burrow's calf injury, which he suffered in training camp. On a fourth-quarter sack, Titans defensive end Arden Key pushed Bengals left tackle Orlando Brown Jr., who is not off to a great start this season, back into Burrow. A healthy Burrow probably would have easily escaped to his right. But Burrow isn't moving well and Key reached him for a sack.
