By now, fans have seen that Burrow spent an unusual amount of time in front of the cameras and microphones during Super Bowl media week. He put a ton of pressure on the team in the process as he seeks extensions for Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Trey Hendrickson and tight end Mike Gesicki.

Burrow previously won Comeback Player of the Year in 2021. That season, he rebounded from a torn ACL he suffered his rookie season by throwing for 4,611 and 34 touchdowns. Burrow and the Bengals went on to make the Super Bowl that season.

Not only is Ja'Marr Chase looking to get a contract extension, but the Bengals also have to decide if they want to keep Tee Higgins, who played on the franchise tag in 2024. On top of that, the team also has to figure out what it's going to do with Trey Hendrickson,
