Justin Herbert became the NFL's highest-paid quarterback on Tuesday after agreeing to a reported five-year, $262.5 million contract extension with the Los Angeles Chargers, once again resetting the market for star signal-callers.
With Herbert the latest quarterback to ink a monstrous extension, the attention will now shift to Cincinnati Bengals star Joe Burrow, who is slated to become an unrestricted free agent following the 2024 season.
Burrow, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 draft, is considered by some to be a better overall quarterback than Herbert, so it's reasonable to believe he'll receive an extension worth $270-plus million.
