The Cincinnati Bengals still seem like they're in a rather weird spot after a somewhat impressive offseason. The Bengals made a trade for Dexter Lawrence, showing they're willing to address their defensive issues and try to win with Joe Burrow.
If there's been one problem for the Bengals and Burrow over the past few years, it's been his inability to stay healthy, and the defense being one of the worst in the NFL.
As a result, some have started to wonder whether he could eventually ask out, and according to the latest, it doesn't sound like it's completely off the table.
âThis sort of question wouldâve been preposterous 20 years ago,â Albert Breer wrote. âBut based on where the NFL is now, and where professional sports are in general, when it comes to player movement, itâs hard to rule out the idea that Joe Burrow could end up elsewhere.
âIf you really want to dig into it, I think the most relevant case study for Burrowâs future is Matthew Stafford. Burrow is now 29, and six seasons into his career, having made the playoffs twice, advancing to the AFC title game on both occasions, and reaching the Super Bowl after his second season as a proâŠ
âAll this is to say, I donât think weâre there yet with Burrow. But like Stafford, he badly wants to win, and he wonât be content with coming up short on Lombardi Trophies forever.â
As Breer touched on, that doesn't mean a trade is imminent or will ever happen, but Burrow has shown over his career that he really wants to win a Super Bowl.
If the Bengals don't put themselves in a position to win it all over the next few years, there's definitely reason to believe that something could happen.
The Bengals have provided an update indicating that while Burrow's future isn't entirely certain, there are no immediate plans for a trade.
Fans are concerned due to Burrow's history of injuries and speculation about whether he might request a trade.
The Bengals made a trade for Dexter Lawrence to improve their defense, which may impact Burrow's performance and health moving forward.
