Bengals restructure Burrow deal to free up cap space
The Cincinnati Bengals restructured Joe Burrow’s five-year, $275 million extension, creating about $10 million in 2026 cap space by spreading part of his base salary over the remainder of the deal, bringing their cap room to roughly $17 million for the season and allowing the team to pursue extensions for several young players while finalizing its seven-man draft class; Burrow remains under contract through 2029, and the move follows the Dexter Lawrence trade that constrained their offseason cap plans.
