Bengals QB Joe Burrow is focused on only one thing right now

Originally posted on Larry Brown Sports | By Grey Papke | Last updated 9/6/23

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow never got his long-term contract with the team this offseason, leaving some lingering questions entering 2023. Those questions aren’t ones that Burrow is pondering, though.

Burrow was asked Wednesday about his contract status, as he enters 2023 with two years remaining on his rookie deal. He made clear that is not an issue for him, and he expects it to be worked out eventually.

Burrow looked set to benefit hugely from one other contract signed this offseason, but a calf injury derailed his preseason and may have put contract talks on the backburner.

He appears likely to play in Week 1, and it is not impossible that a deal could still get done before the game.
