Joe Burrow contract details Bengals make quarterback highest paid player in NFL history with extens

Jalen Hurts, Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert have each enjoyed brief stints this offseason as the highest-paid players in the NFL. As the 2023 regular season prepares to kick off, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will walk into the new campaign as the new signal-caller on top. On Thursday, Burrow reportedly agreed to a five-year, $275 million contract, supplanting Herbert's five-year, $262.5 million contract that had previously made him the highest-paid player in NFL history by average annual value. With Burrow's deal, he will average $55 million per year in AAV. The contract cements Burrow's status as the future face of the franchise in Cincinnati, where he has taken the team to new heights. Since being drafted first overall in 2020, Burrow has led the Bengals to the AFC championship in back-to-back years (first time in team history), Super Bowl 56 (third Super Bowl appearance for the team) and matched a franchise record with 12 wins in 2022. And in just three full seasons with the team, Burrow's name is already littered across the franchise's record book. He has the most (4,611) and second-most (4,475) single-season passing yards, the most (35) and second-most (34) single-season passing touchdowns and is already sixth in career passing yards (11,774) and passing touchdowns (82). His career completion percentage of 68.2 percent is the best for any qualifying quarterback in NFL history. POWER RANKINGS: Where Bengals rank among NFL's best teams for 2023 With Burrow now signed, the franchise can now turn the focus toward keeping his biggest playmakers in town. Tee Higgins is in the final year of his rookie contract and is extension eligible, while Ja'Marr Chase will all but certainly have his fifth-year option exercised next offseason, during which he will also become extension eligible. Slot receiver Tyler Boyd is also a free agent after the 2023 campaign. Here's everything you need to know about Burrow's record-setting contract. Burrow and the Bengals agreed to a five-year, $275 million contract to stay in Cincinnati as the face of the franchise, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Along with the record AAV of $55 million per year, Burrow also set the record for the most guaranteed money in a single contract. He will be receiving $219.01 million guaranteed in the deal. That is the second-most guaranteed money in NFL history behind only the fully guaranteed $230 million to which the Browns signed Deshaun Watson. The Bengals have been working to save money to keep money in escrow to account for the guarantees in the deal. The team became one of the last to sign away stadium naming rights when it renamed Paul Brown Stadium to Paycor Stadium. Prior to Burrow's new contract, when the cap space was accounting only for his fifth-year option that would cost $29.5 million, Cincinnati had $64.2 million in space for the 2024 season, according to Spotrac. The team might now have more space to work with after Burrow's new deal, but finding the room to keep Higgins and Chase both on long-term deals could now be more of a challenge with Burrow's contract set to get significantly larger in the later years of the extension. Burrow now moves to the top of the list of highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL. He becomes the fifth quarterback in NFL history to exceed an average annual value of $50 million. Here's where Burrow ranks among all NFL quarterbacks in terms of average annual value.

Osho Quotes on Meditation

Osho Quotes on Meditation If tea-drinking can become a meditation, then anything can become a meditation — cooking or washing your clothes, any activity can be transformed into meditation. And the real sannyasin, the real seeker, will transform all his acts into meditation. Only then, when meditation spreads over all your life, not only when you are awake in the day — slowly slowly it starts penetrating and permeating your being in sleep too — when it becomes just part of you, like breathing, like your heartbeat, then, only, have you attained to the discipline, to the essential discipline of Zen. Meditation means: drop all thoughts, drop all ideologies, drop all knowledge. Drop the mind itself. The mind is constantly talking. If the inner talk can drop even for a single moment you will be able to have a glimpse of no-mind. That’s what meditation is all about. The state of no-mind is the right state. It is your state. Millions of people miss meditation because meditation has taken on...

Osho on Witnessing technique

Osho on Witnessing technique – You can witness breathing, you can witness the thought process in OSHO INSIGHTS ON MEDITATION Osho – Societies will come and go. You will take birth and you will die and many lives will come and go, and many, many clouds will pass through you. But the inner sky – AKSHAT – remains uncorrupted, virgin. But you can become identified with clouds. You can begin to feel that ”I am the clouds”. Everyone is identified with his own thoughts which are nothing more than clouds. You say, ”my thought,” and if someone attacks your thought, you never feel that your thought is being attacked – you are being attacked. The sky is fighting – fighting for clouds because some cloud has been attacked. The sky feels, ”I am attacked!” The sky was there when there was no cloud, the sky will be there when there is no cloud. Clouds add nothing to the sky. And when clouds are no more, nothing is lost. The sky remains itself totally. This is the nature – the inner sky, the inn...
