Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow is on the verge of finalizing his first NFL deal.
The recent No. 1 overall draft pick agreed to terms on Tuesday for a four-year contract worth $36.1 million, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The contract is pending a physical that will occur later this week.
Burrow is expected to receive the entirety of his $23.9 million signing bonus within 15 days of an executed contract. Burrow and second-round pick Tee Higgins are the lone Bengals who did not have deals signed as Cincinnati’s veterans reported to the team facility on Tuesday.
The Minnesota Vikings announced Monday that head trainer Eric Sugarman and members of his family have tested positive for the coronavirus.
Sugarman also is the Vikings’ infection control officer.
He said in a statement that he and his family immediately quarantined and “are all doing fine and experiencing only mild symptoms.”
The Vikings said they are sanitizing their facility and contacted anyone who was in close contact with Sugarman. The team said those team personnel have been tested “and are returning under the established guidelines.”
“Eric has not had recent contact with players, and no additional cases within the Vikings’ front office have been identified at this time,” the team said.
