Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, in his first comments to reporters since becoming the highest-paid player in the NFL, said contract negotiations weren't a distraction as he worked to rehab from a training camp injury and then game plan for Sunday's opener at Cleveland. “I’ve always been pretty good at compartmentalizing things that are important to me,” the 26-year-old said Saturday at a news conference. Burrow finalized his contract extension on Thursday before the Bengals' buses left for Cleveland.
