Burrow has signed.

From Schefter

No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow has agreed in principle to a $36.1M contract with the Bengals pending a physical later this week, source tells ESPN.

Burrow is receiving 100% of his $23.88M signing bonus from the Bengals within 15 days of executing his contract.

Good news. According to reports he'll sign on Thursday.

Tee Higgins has also signed now. All draft picks are signed.

Didn't see details on Tee's contract yet, but I'm sure it will be out there soon. Not such a big deal now that they are slotted.

Tough luck for Ryan Glasgow, waived with a failed physical by the #Bengals. He showed some real flashes when healthy. Injuries always showed up at the wrong time, though.

Bengals are looking at potentially bringing in a fourth QB this year.

Brandon Allen is in town for a physical and COVID test and expected to sign this weekend per a source via Tom Pelissero's Twitter

Allen has been in the league for four years. Sixth round pick in 2016 by Jacksonville. Spent 2017 and 2018 with Zac Taylor and the Rams. Played last year for the Broncos.

Has appeared in 3 games. All last year for Denver.

Bengals are supposedly looking at ways of having QBs ready in case they are needed due to Covid. They are looking at ways of keeping the QBs away from each other and having QB meetings held via Zoom instead of in one room. They want to avoid having to sign someone off the street who doesn't know the offense to start two weeks if the QBs go down at the same time. Smart planning.

Allen had a pretty solid career starting at Arkansas before being drafted.

Assuming this season ever gets off the ground, I support this 100%. Where I struggle is why the NFL hasnt increased roster sizes by 3-4 players so teams could have Covid reserves. Although if this ends up like the Marlins it wont matter anyway. Half the team goes down, schedule blown up, season over.
