Overview
- Speaking on FanDuel TV’s Up & Adams, Brown called the Burrow trade chatter media noise and said winning cures all.
- He said Burrow loves being a Bengal and added he has not discussed the chatter with him.
- Speculation grew after three straight seasons without a playoff berth, a 6-11 finish in 2025, and nine games Burrow missed with injury.
- NFL.com noted Cincinnati went 1-8 in starts without Burrow last year and pointed to a leaky defense as a source of frustration.
- Analysts say a trade is unlikely given Burrow’s long-term deal and owner Mike Brown’s stance, with a Carson Palmer–style sit-out seen as the only real leverage.
