The Cincinnati Bengals have locked up their man long-term, making quarterback Joe Burrow the highest-paid professional athlete of all time. Inking his new deal, the Bengals now have Burrow under contract for five additional years, worth $275 million. They even gave him $219 million guaranteed on the deal. After all of the movements and quarterback contracts since the Cleveland Browns gave Deshaun Watson a new deal, where does that contract now rank?

Here, we take a look at the top ten quarterback contracts in the NFL at the moment, sorted by average pay per year. Burrow joined the likes of Lamar Jackson, Justin Herbert, and Jalen Hurts to get paid this offseason. The quarterback market has been completely reset thanks to the young guns cashing in this offseason. Now, we will likely see guys like Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen rework their deals in the upcoming offseason as a result.
