Bengals Shock The NFL By Dealing Superstar Joe Burrow To NFC Rival In Massive Trade Proposal
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
Joe Burrow has remained loyal to the Cincinnati Bengals, even after another disappointing NFL season. The Bengals couldn’t advance to the playoffs again, with Burrow being limited to just eight games after suffering a toe injury.
The former LSU quarterback played at a high level again, but the Bengals have plenty of issues to address before they can return to the Super Bowl. Burrow has been mentioned as a potential target for multiple teams, including the Los Angeles Rams.
Colin Cowherd predicted the quarterback would eventually request a trade from Cincinnati.
“My take is, Burrow just for his sanity, has really enjoyed his offseasons, because deep down he knows, I’m not playing with the same level of scouting department, we’re not making deals happen,” Cowherd said earlier this month.

The Vikings signed Carson Wentz to another one-year deal. They also added Kyler Murray to the quarterback room, but it’s hard to imagine they would pass up on the possibility of trading for Joe Burrow.
They look like a team one quarterback away from contention, and Burrow could be the right piece. Meanwhile, Burrow enjoys his offseason with Alix Earle.
