In recent weeks, speculation has swirled around a potential trade involving Minnesota Vikings and Cincinnati Bengals‘ quarterback Joe Burrow. The Bengals’ star quarterback, sidelined last season due to injury, was rumored to be on the Vikings’ radar. However, recent reports have cast doubt on this possibility.
The Athletic‘s Dianna Russini reported that the Bengals have no intention of trading Burrow this year. Despite the Vikings’ reported interest, Cincinnati remains committed to Burrow for the upcoming season.
The Bengals’ failure to make the playoffs and Burrow’s vocal frustration with the team’s current situation have fueled trade rumors. These factors have contributed to the speculation about his possible departure from Cincinnati.
Nonetheless, Burrow and the Bengals are set to remain together at least through the end of the current season, which is expected to conclude with Super Bowl LX between the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks. Both teams have already disclosed the latest injury reports for this pivotal matchup.
