No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow will soon be a very rich man. Reports indicate the former LSU Heisman-winning quarterback has agreed to a $36.1M contract, including a $23.8M signing bonus, with the Cincinnati Bengals pending a physical later this week. Burrow will receive 100% of his signing bonus within 15 days of executing his contract. This will be the most lucrative rookie deal any player has reached since the rookie wage scale was implemented in 2011.
