How the Bengals are taking extra steps to make sure Joe Burrow is happy

One of the biggest stories this offseason has been whether or not LSU football’s Joe Burrow wants to play for the Cincinnati Bengals.

Burrow, who grew up in Ohio, is expected to be the top selection in the 2020 NFL Draft. And Cincinnati, a team in desperate need of a quarterback, has the first pick.

A match made in heaven, right?

Well, maybe.

Draft pundits have spent much of the offseason postulating that Burrow might not want to play for the Bengals — even though there’s really no basis for that theory.

This all started when Carson Palmer “warned” Burrow about playing for the Bengals, saying that Cincinnati never tried to win a Super Bowl.
