CINCINNATI — One of Joe Burrow's top coaches just earned a new contract extension.

According to Ian Rapoport, Bengals QBs coach Dan Pitcher got the new deal following interest in him as an offensive coordinator for other teams.

"Sources say Dan Pitcher, the Bengals quarterbacks coach since 2020, received a lucrative contract extension within the past week after several teams wanted to speak with him about offensive coordinator openings," Rapoport wrote. "Cincinnati was proactive, attempting to lock Pitcher in for another season rather than have him leave for a coordinator opening."

Pitcher has been an essential part of offensive game planning since taking on the role in 2020. Burrow has praised him directly.

"I think that's pretty unique to this place," Burrow said. "I think that's what makes everyone love being here. There's no egos from me to our coaching staff to Zac, to Brian, to Pitch, to our receivers. It's a collaborative effort that everyone puts in so everyone can take ownership."

Cincinnati fights Kansas City for a spot in the Super Bowl this Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET on CBS. The game is available via fuboTV—start your free trial here.
