How can an NFL rookie get out of their contract after year 1? Is it possible?

Of course I'm talking about Burrow. I doubt he'd try because of his competitiveness and loyalty to the state of Ohio, but just spitballing.
Would demanding a trade work? I understand they can say no, but you'd have to think they would cave if a team traded a lot for Joe. That organization clearly doesn't care about winning. The stories about their facilities compared to other teams are eye-opening. Their inability to produce a decent roster is laughable, especially on the OL. How many QBs need to have their careers ruined there before the NFL demands they make improvements?
Can the Competition Committee get involved and say they aren't trying to win or protect players and must do something?
Really don't want Burrow's potential wasted like Palmer's.

Seems like a chicken shite attitude.

LSU fans really showing their lack of NFL knowledge the past 12 hours.

No. The team would have to release him.
Otherwise they own his rights for the length of the contract.

Jeez people act like the first pick going to a shitty team is a new thing.
Take off your P&G glasses for a minute and breathe.

Really only 2 ways out of the contract. Cut or retire. He can be traded to another team, but still under the same contract.

The Bengals situation wasn't a secret when he was drafted. He should have pulled an Eli Manning before he was drafted if he wanted to play for a better team.

I mean, every #1 pick goes to a bad team. That’s the whole idea.

Another stupid take on this.

Some(not all) LSU fans really need to calm down. He’s played two games and looked good. Players who go number one overall go to bad teams who need a rebuild. They don’t go to super bowl contending teams right off the bat.
I figured we’d see some threads like this but damn they’re piling up on here.

He needs to stop costing his team games if he loves winning so much. Choke job int last week with chance to win game under 5mins. This week backed up against his own end zone after his def just had an amazing 4th down stop he puts the ball on the ground, and gives it back to them for a td. 2 weeks in a row his turnover cost the game

How was Dalton’s career ruined? And Palmer? Carson had a bad injury in the playoffs of 2005 I believe, but still managed a solid career.

This team made the playoffs 5 of the last 10 years. It’s not like they’ve tanked for a decade.

Don't turn the NFL into the NBA. NFL is the most entertaining pro sport because they do what they can to make things competitive. Cincy in 35 years has been the bottom of the barrel but has also played in a Superbowl and was Montana and Rice magic away from winning it. They had a great team in 2005 they could have played for the Super Bowl if the Palmer injury didn't happen against Pittsburgh (the Super Bowl champs that year).
EDIT: I missed VAGawg's comment. Same thing he said pretty much.

He'd have zero leverage.

Before this year, LSU fans wouldn’t have given two shits thoughts to this “concern”. If this were Tua instead of Burrow, y’all would be laughing.
