The Cincinnati Bengals' top priority this offseason was to improve a defense that was absolutely awful last season.
Along with protecting Joe Burrow, improving the defense is always a high priority for the Bengals because, as is the case with protecting Burrow, they fail at it on a yearly basis.
But they can't afford to do either of those things again this year, as reports suggest this could be a huge campaign when it comes to Burrow's future in Cincinnati.
"This is considered to be a hugely significant season for Joe Burrow and his future in Cincinnati. If the Bengals cannot turn it around, some have speculated about whether Burrow might wonder whether he is better off playing in another NFL city," ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
Another lackluster showing for Cincinnati and Burrow could be looking for the exit.
