The Cincinnati Bengals have agreed to terms with first overall pick Joe Burrow on his rookie contract, multiple outlets reported Tuesday.
Burrow’s slotted contract value is $36.1 million over four years, all fully guaranteed, with a $23.9 million signing bonus. Like all first-round picks, his deal has a fifth-year team option.
Burrow, 23, was drafted No. 1 in late April, capping an incredible rise from being a transfer from Ohio State to LSU to winning the Heisman Trophy in a record landslide after throwing for 5,671 yards and 60 touchdowns.
LSU went 15-0 and won the national championship, beating Clemson in the title game.
Former Clemson wideout Tee Higgins, the 33rd overall pick and now a teammate of Burrow’s, has yet to sign his rookie contract. All other Bengals have signed their deals.
