The Cincinnati Bengals have officially made Joe Burrow the highest-paid player in NFL history.
Burrow has instituted a culture change for the organization, as they have made it to back-to-back AFC Championships.
Now that he’s armed with a new contract, he has extra motivation to bring this team a Super Bowl victory.
Shortly after this extension was announced, Skip Bayless took to Twitter to outline his thoughts.
“Congrats to Joe Burrow, the NFL’s best QB,” Bayless said.
Congrats to Joe Burrow, the NFL’s best QB.

Bayless is known for his hot takes which tend to receive strong reactions from many around the league.
After calling Burrow the league’s best quarterback, he immediately received pushback from fans.
Patrick Mahomes is widely regarded as the best quarterback in the NFL, although it is certainly up for debate.
Winning two Super Bowls in four years helps his case, which is why he’s generally given this title.
Whether Bayless’ tweet is earnest remains to be seen, as he tends to troll his audience.
Regardless of his intentions, many expect Burrow and the Bengals to take another leap this year, especially now that he has a new deal.
The Chiefs lost their season opener to the Detroit Lions, which could jumpstart the Bengals’ season.
Knowing the Chiefs began the year with a loss is fuel to the Bengals’ fire, who are hungry for a shot at redemption.
The NFL season is long, and anything can happen along the way, especially injuries to some of the league’s top players.
Who will end the year as the AFC’s Super Bowl representative?
