Overview
- Steelers legend James Harrison said on the Deebo & Joe podcast that he has been speaking with Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow about joining Pittsburgh.
- He said they talk by phone on a weekly or biweekly basis and discussed Burrow meeting Bengals owner Mike Brown to ask what it would take to switch teams.
- Former Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger called the idea a pipe dream and said he does not think it will happen.
- Coverage notes there is no public sign the Bengals want to move their franchise passer, who is under contract through 2029, and teams almost never trade stars within the division.
- The renewed chatter follows three straight seasons without a Bengals playoff berth and Burrow’s 2025 remark that he needed to find fun in the game again.
