Should Burrow family pull an Eli Manning or John Elway at draft time?

    Interesting conversation on Speak for Yourself with Jason Whitlock.

    Force the Bengals hand and get traded to the Panthers, an owner willing to pay whatever for success (see Matt Ruhle's contract)?

    I don't want to see him in the NFC and especially the NFC South.

    Maybe the Chargers sitting at 5.

    Boss was telling me about this. Joe is from south O. He might want to play there and bring them what he brought us. Problem there is the owner. He's milking the franchise for money and doesn't give a rip about trying to build or put a winner on the field.He is also a notorious salary cheapskate.
    It's all about how Joe feels. Personally, I'd like to see him study under Brees for a year or so and then take the helm in NOLA but that ain't gonna happen.

    If the Bengals dont, the Fins will. Plus the Fins got like a dozen first rd picks.

    Joe can leave after 4/5 years on the rookie contract.

    Risk anyone can have... one small plus is the 1st round pick of the bengals did not play all year, OT Williams from bama, and with him coming back it might help.

    I didn't realize everything going on with the Browns, if I was him I'd rather go play for a different franchise.

    Can’t say I would blame him, even tho I don’t like this kind of crap. But Cincy is an NFL graveyard. If he ends up in the NFC South, it better somehow be with us. Fuk the Panthers.
