On Tuesday afternoon, Justin Herbert became the highest paid QB in the league…for now. Despite signing the league’s richest QB deal, after Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson did the same earlier this offseason, all eyes now shift to Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow, who was selected five picks ahead of Herbert and has won considerably more playoff games in their short careers.
Charles Robinson is joined by Charles McDonald and Jori Epstein to talk about what Justin Herbert’s deal means for both the Los Angeles Chargers and the Cincinnati Bengals. With QB money going up and up, who will be the first franchise QB to not command upwards of $40 million (or $50 million) per year?
Next, they chat about New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley receiving some paltry incentives added onto his one-year deal, and how the potential $900k Barkley could receive will be very hard to earn and does nothing to change how running backs are paid in the league.
Later, Jori talks about what she learned visiting Cleveland Browns camp this week & Robinson reports from Dallas Cowboys camp, where there are high expectations for success in an easy-to-win NFC landscape.
