Deserves every cent

Just hope they can afford to build a great team around him.

Odds are he will be the highest. But it wouldn't shock me if he is not. Joe is just wired different. Case in point instead of taking that Nissan money and doing the Heisman commercials he signed on with a local Ohio EV company.

Now they can't pay peeps around him
Brady always kept himself down to do that
Then he got a bit tired of it

No MVPs

No SB trophies

No passing yard leader

No accolades

No money

What does the game clock have to do with their salary? The create the value in a league with $18B in annual revenue. No one is calculating it hourly as if they were a bagger at the grocery store.

I wonder how much the jerk from UCF that blind sided him and taunted him is making next year…

No one could’ve seen this coming back in 2018. Joey has had an astronomical rise over the past 5 years to become the best player in football

Except him. He knew.

Lolwut...

Football is by far the most dangerous major sport outside of boxing to one's long-term health.

Joe is going to do what Brees should have done! Give me a contract making me the highest player in the league. Announce it to the league then I will restructure or give back to the team to take care of the supporting players. He wants to be acknowledged then give back. Drew was greedy, he held out for every last penny when he could have taken less to keep the supporting players!

He deserves every penny. That franchise was a disaster before he got there.

Source looks fake, but Burrow should get his fat contract now. He can chase rings later on
