Patrick Mahomes’ Fans Find The Joe Burrow Contract Extension Announcement Date Very Orchestrated

The 2023 NFL season was only getting underway when the news was made on Thursday. His $275 million contract, which starts in 2025, makes him the highest-paid player in NFL history.

Thursday night’s Chiefs-Lions game was immediately followed by the announcement of Joe Burrow’s record-breaking contract extension with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Mahomes is +600 to retain his MVP prize, while Burrow is second in the odds list on +750. Tough competition for MVP 2023!

Burrow spoke at a conference at Paycor Stadium to convey his happiness at getting the job:

“This is where I want to be. This is where I want to be my whole career. We have great people in the locker room that grind every day, that are excited to go and showcase their talents and to go and do it in the city of Cincinnati. We have the best fans and so this is where I want to be.”

As soon as the news spread, both the media and fans started making jokes about how timely the announcement was.

“Joe Burrow high-jacking Patrick Mahomes’ opening drive with $219M guaranteed is legend,” said the Spotrac Twitter account.

Todd Fuhrman, a betting expert, commented, “Bengals vs. Chiefs rivalry just went next level; announce the Burrow extension when Mahomes is kicking off the season opener.”

NFL YouTuber Brett Kollmann said, “Of course Burrow signs his deal once Mahomes is on the field lmao.”

The quarterback has stated he is ready to play and that he should be able to start their game against the Cleveland Browns in Week One, so that is wonderful news.

“I’m ready to go, I’m expecting to play,” Burrow said on Wednesday, speaking to the media after practice.

“I mean, we’re going to see how these next couple of days play out, because you never know with these things, but I’m expecting to play.”
