Eifert hints at Justin Jefferson trade to the Bengals
However unlikely it may seem, stranger things have happened. It'd be awesome to see them all reunited. Unsure if Germans, haven't been on much today. Gotta think it'd take a ton of structuring to get Chase, Joe and Justin in the same camp, but dammit would it make me happy to see that happen. What better recruiting pitch could you ask for if they all reuinited and won a Superbowl, or five.

Bengals haven’t done crap to help Burrow win a SB so i really doubt it. Wish Burrow would demand a trade

Do they have the cap space? Burrow needs a strong OL

Wish it would happen, but no way you can get 3 of the nfl’s best young talents to shoot down franchise sized contracts. All 3 of those demand the highest market value at the given positions. I doubt they take pay cuts unless they were veterans toward the end of their career.

Wish they’d build up the trenches but I Jefferson goes there Joe can just yeet the bitch like Tua does

ETA: like the poster above me said. They can’t afford a franchise WR. All three players would have to take a pay cut

But if anyone were to take a cut I could see burrow and Jefferson doing it

The only way this would happen is if Ja'Marr and Justin took significant pay cuts on their first big contracts. Seems really unlikely as legendary as it would be. Jefferson allegedly turned down north of 30 million dollars a year from Minny last offseason.

They cannot afford Burrow, Chase, Jefferson and still field a competent Oline/Defense. This will NOT happen

Didn't they just franchise tag Higgins? Not sure why they would do that and then go pony up for Jefferson

It might be a pipe dream but I would personally love for it to happen.

This would be huge. I’m sure the powers that be are doing what they can to prevent this from happening.

With them about to pay Chase there is no way they can afford to WR1s and Burrow.

Absolutely won’t happen. Off the top of my head that would be roughly 50% against the cap for three players.

The Bengals are having a hard enough time deciding what to do with their current crop of receivers. As cheap as the Bengals are, I don’t see them spending a ton on two of the best receivers in the league along with Joe Burrow’s massive contract. Their OLine is already horrendous and that leaves nothing for them to upgrade that position. Oline there needs to be top priority, otherwise Burrow will have a very short career.
