Gronkowski Floats Jets Mega-Trade for Joe Burrow, Drawing On-Air Laughter

The TV pitch followed New York’s deadline haul of future picks that has intensified offseason quarterback speculation.

Overview

  • On FOX NFL Sunday, Rob Gronkowski suggested the Jets offer four or five first-round picks to the Bengals for Joe Burrow.
  • Terry Bradshaw and Michael Strahan laughed at the proposal, underscoring how rare such a blockbuster would be.
  • After trading Sauce Gardner to the Colts and Quinnen Williams to the Cowboys, the Jets hold five first-round and three second-round picks across the 2026 and 2027 drafts.
  • Cincinnati has given no indication it will trade Burrow, the NFL trade deadline has passed, and any such discussion would be an offseason matter.
  • Burrow is currently sidelined with turf toe with Joe Flacco starting in his place, while the Jets are set to ride Justin Fields and Tyrod Taylor this season with longer-term QB options expected to be draft-driven.
