Teams Expected to Call on Joe Burrow This Offseason, but Trade Remains Unlikely

Cincinnati signals no intention to move its quarterback under a long-term deal.

Overview

  • CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones reports multiple NFL teams plan to inquire about acquiring Joe Burrow in the offseason.
  • Jones' sources indicate those calls are unlikely to lead to a deal, and the Bengals are not entertaining offers.
  • Burrow has said he plans to be in Cincinnati in 2026, with recent remarks about not having fun driving outside speculation.
  • An anonymous executive told CBS Sports a trade would require at least two first-round picks, possibly three without players included.
  • Burrow is playing on a five-year, $275 million extension that includes a no-trade clause, with this season's struggles and injuries providing the backdrop for the interest.
