Some Potential Problems for Joe B in Cincinnati
Posted on 2/19/20 at 11:40 pm

I will mention that I grew up in Cleveland and went to Ohio State. Now living in Cincinnati. Not a Bengal fan.
Joe seems to be legitimately unenthusiastic about Cincinnati. Listening to sports talk and someone said the Bengals could tie him down for 7 years. 5 yr. contract, transition status and franchise him. Sounds perfectly awful for Joe. My concern is that at Cincinnati he will get beat up and have no chance. QBs easily go from hot saviors to nothing burgers. (Think of Josh Rosen)
Being in Cincinnati, I am sensing that Mike Brown would make an example out of Joe if he tried to force a trade. I think there is a sense that Cincinnati is being disrespected nationally and if it can't choose and keep its desired No. 1 pick, it would be a recurring problem. This is in addition to Mike Brown's well known stubborn personality. (Consider Carson Palmer situation)
Hope I am wrong, but I really hope Joe ends up in a situation where he has a fair chance to succeed.

You haven't been following.
He's not enthusiastic about playing for the Bengals. All the signals he's sending are pointing to an Eli Manning part deux shunning of the Bengals.
I believe he'll end up elsewhere. Best guess is Miami as a trade partner, as they have easily the most draft capital of anyone.

I hope he does what’s best for him regardless of what that is.

Three year contact, front loaded, with fourth year option at first pick value pricing..that has to be agreed by both parties. Two year signing bonus upfront of 28,000,000! No negotiating.

It would cost Brown around $100 million dollars to keep Joe for 7 years. (A franchise-tag QB gets the average salary of the top 5 NFL QBs)
And Joe would be about 30 years old at the end of it. 30 is about the same age Steve Young finally became the starting QB for the 49ers.
Carson Palmer was 32 when he became the starting QB at the Raiders. 34 at the Cards.

Idk if you missed his first season here but he got wrecked. Often.
He’s a tough kid. Mentally and physically

He needs to go where the money is the biggest.
All pro sports are about the money. Why should he care what team writes the biggest check? (A bigger market like New York might give him more endorsement opportunities.)

That franchise is a dumpster fire. They completely earned their national disrespect.

The Bengals are like the Bears in that the family's money comes FROM the football team, so it is in their best interest financially to be cheap, in order to maximize profits. All of the other teams except GB are owned by billionaires who can afford to spend money.

Joe isn't an emotional guy. This is why he is a great qb. Not too far up, not too far down. That's why great players are great. Loose lips sink ships. Joe is quietly going about his business to get what can get when he signs that contract. Look who his agent is.

I think the Defenders move up in the XFL draft to nab him

I would lose a little respect for him if he does the Eli thing. Not that it matters to him.
Make damn sure your agent gets you a way out after a few years if they refuse to strengthen around you.
The whole point of the draft is so shite teams in shite cities can actually put a decent roster together.

Brown should absolutely trade the pick. There are scads of teams that are a QB and maybe another player or 2 away from being contenders. Some of those might be willing to let Cincy trade down to 1 and 2 this year and probably an extra 2 next year - possibly with a quality (surplus) player from that team trading up thrown in as well.
The Bengals basically need 1 (or more) of everything. A QB isn't going to change their fortunes. An influx of 3 to 5 very good players over the next 2 drafts might.

It is what it is. After the Bengals take Joe as the number one pick in the draft, they will hold the rights to him for five years. Hence, at that point, Joe doesn't really have any other choice but to play for them. At least until he fulfills his rookie contract.
For Joe, Cincinnati will be a fun place to be because it is so close to his parent's home and also because that's where his girlfriend and probably his future wife is from.
And who knows, maybe the Bengals' owner will try to get the monkey off his back and try to win a Superbowl for a change. I mean, you only live once so why not?
Nonetheless, I'm not going to lose sleep over Joe Burrow cause he is soon to become a mega-millionaire and if he wants a change of scenery when his rookie contract comes to a conclusion, then more power to him.

Anyone hoping Joe gets drafted to Miami needs to go compare the Dolphins last 10 seasons against the Bengals. They are horrible. The Bengals are a few roster moves away from being a wild card team. Hoping they draft Cushenberry and sign a few other o-linemen.

Anyone suggesting that he sit out a year is a fricking moron who probably has little more than a pot to piss in.

QB contact rules are much different than they used to be. He is tough and knows how to take a hit if that makes sense. He also is very smart about getting rid of the ball. He will not stand back there and get demolished like some guys we have seen before.

Burrow’s going to get a $25 million signing bonus. I don’t see any potential problem.
