Overview

  • On ESPN’s Get Up, Adam Schefter said clubs like the Jets, who hold five first-round picks over the next two drafts, could make aggressive quarterback offers.
  • Former NFL QB Dan Orlovsky called a Burrow trade outrageous, while ex-Bengals WR Andrew Hawkins said a massive return keeps the chance above zero.
  • Burrow has been out since Week 2 with a serious foot injury, and an anticipated mid-December return has not been confirmed.
  • Cincinnati is 3-6 with veteran Joe Flacco starting as concerns persist about protection and overall consistency.
  • The trade deadline has passed, so any scenarios would be an offseason matter, and neither the Bengals nor Burrow has publicly addressed the speculation.
