Joe Burrow is truly a philanthropist by heart who knows how to care for the community he belongs to. He knows how to combat big challenges whether it be in the field or outside. Despite living off of his rookie money, he takes the initiative to make generous donations like his recent $600,000 ($594,056 approx.) relief to the states of Ohio and Louisiana.

The ‘Joe Burrow Contract’ Situation
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Joe Burrow who is still on his rookie contract is reported to be worth around $10 million. With his rookie contract nearing an end come next season, he is expected to sign an extension anytime soon.
His Super Bowl appearance in his second season with the Bengals has shown how he is on par with top-tier QBs such as Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers. This has also amped up his chances to bag a massive deal from the franchise.
With Rapoport starting his tweet discussing a potential Joe Burrow extension, feel it’s a matter of days before the deal is finalized & formally announced.
With that, here’s a proposed Joe Burrow contract ext.:
6yrs/$330M with $157.135 fully GRTD & $282.135M in total guarantees https://t.co/owsuS0arO2 pic.twitter.com/gcVymZnT7Y

If speculations are to be believed, the next contract will make Joe Burrow the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history. The numbers put forth by Andre Perotta are unbelievable as he suggests that the deal would be worth $330 million for 6 years with $157.135 as guaranteed money. This would certainly be a remarkable deal if it materializes just as Andre has suggested.
