Joe Burrow's Father Jimmy Jokes 'We Finally Got Him Outta Our Basement'

Blake Schuster

Joe Burrow's father has a simple request for what his son should buy after the quarterback agreed to a four-year, $36.1 million contract Tuesday: his own place.

Speaking to 104.5 FM ESPN Radio in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Jimmy Burrow joked the life-changing money will allow his son to finally move out of the family's Ohio home.

"We finally got him outta our basement," Burrow said (h/t AllBengals' James Rapien).

Jimmy Burrow is far from the only father who is ready for his son to leave home after a summer of living in the basement, but he's one of the few whose child could buy the home from them and kick them out, so he may want to tread lightly.

Not to mention, there are more than a few hundred thousand Cincinnati Bengals fans who'd love to have the No. 1 overall pick as a roommate.

Jimmy Burrow may have to wait a bit longer before Joe moves out, however.

Back in February the former LSU star told TMZ Sports the first thing he's looking forward to having when he gets to the NFL, and it isn't a house.

Instead, Burrow wants a personal chef.

"I'm a healthy eater, so whatever he or she can make that tastes good and keeps me shredded," Burrow told TMZ Sports.

If Burrow's dad isn't so quick to kick the quarterback out, he may get to enjoy some of the benefits that come with a private chef in the house.

He'll just have to put up with his son living in the basement a bit longer to do so.
