Joe Burrow reportedly signs 5 year, $275 million extension with Bengals

YouTube Video Thumbnail
Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals agreed to a 5-year, $275 million contract extension, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Thursday night. The $219 million in guarantees make him the highest-paid player in league history, according to the report. Speculation around the 26-year-old's impending contract swirled all offseason after other top quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts and Justin Herbert all inked then-record deals. A calf strain during training camp further cast doubt on Burrow's Week 1 availability and complicated contractual matters a bit more. Burrow's rise from No. 1 overall pick in 2020 to a top-5 quarterback took just two seasons after he tore his ACL and missed the final six games of his rookie season. Burrow led the Bengals to the Super Bowl in 2021 with an NFL-leading 70.4% completion rate after he threw for 4,611 passing yards and 34 touchdowns. He also won NFL Comeback Player of the Year that season. While the Bengals didn't go back to the Super Bowl this past season, Burrow still finished second in completion percentage and passing touchdowns as Cincinnati lost to the Kansas City Chiefs by a field goal in the AFC title game. He threw for 4,475 yards, 35 touchdowns and 12 interceptions with a 68.3% competition rate. All along, Burrow has been adamant about signing a deal that would allow the Bengals to keep key contributors like wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Chase has two years left on his rookie deal plus a potential fifth-year option, while Higgins will be an impending free agent this offseason. Cincinnati will also need to figure out what to do with running back Joe Mixon, who took a pay cut to return to the team this season, as well as 2019 first-rounder Jonah Williams, veteran receiver Tyler Boyd and linebacker Logan Wilson. Burrow needed to be the first domino to fall in the Bengals' contractual plans. Now, Cincinnati will focus on getting back to the Super Bowl with their franchise quarterback locked in for the foreseeable future.

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...

33 Crore Gods (Devi / Devtas) of Hindus

33 Crore Gods of Hindus For the believers of God, it is an accepted faith across the globe that God is one. Hindus too believe so, but then there remains a question often shaped as a mockery over Hindus about the various practices of worship rendered to innumerous God in their faith. And this question is often thrown by people, who are philosophically and religiously recognized. How come Hindu religion has 33 crore Gods? Is it sensible at all to believe and practice this? I have a question – How can one decide what is sensible and what is not, particularly when none of those great thinkers have attained perfection in realization of God, none of them have seen God, none of them have heard God. There are numerous instances where religion, religious books and their beliefs have tried to define God. Criticism is an easy thing to do but we have coins with two sides always. Realization of the positive side and its practice is not only hard to recognize but difficult to accept as well. Critic...
