The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> is in constant evolution, and since <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/roger-goodell" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Roger Goodell</a> took over as Commissioner, he has dedicated his efforts to creating a better league. Now, he is poised to make a huge decision that will change everything as we know it today.



Roger Goodell has been at the helm of the NFL for 18 years, having taken over from Paul Tagliabue, who retired on August 8, 2006. Since then, he has brought a lot of attention to the league.



Throughout his tenure, Goodell has prioritized player safety and enhancing the league’s appeal. However, his upcoming decision is controversial and has some players feeling uneasy.



<h2>NFL is ready to approve an 18-game season schedule</h2>



In recent years, the idea of an 18-game regular season schedule has gained traction. According to reports, Roger Goodell is actively pushing this plan to make it happen soon, and it might be closer than everyone thinks.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/bengals-joe-burrow-crafts-the-perfect-plan-to-fix-the-intense-nfl-schedule"></div>


NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell recently met with the Washington Post to discuss this matter. He revealed that, while negotiations have not yet started, the league is very interested in implementing an 18-game schedule soon.



“We have talked at a very, very, very high level superficially, with a recognition … about, ‘Yeah, this is something that we should be talking about. And we should really kick the tires and understand what else goes into that decision-making process,&apos;” Howell said. “Where does the 18th game come from? I think the foregone conclusion is well, you just grab it, like, in what would otherwise be [preseason games] in August. You play it forward. But these are details that really need to be fleshed out. But, again, there are other economic, health and safety matters that also need to be clear to our members before there’s ever an agreement about an 18th game.”



The last part that Howell mentions is very important. The NFLPA is keen on the safety of the players, and adding one more game to the schedule could increase injuries and jeopardize their entire careers.

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Burrow</a>, quarterback of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cincinnati Bengals</a>, has already voiced his support for this new schedule. He believes that the NFL could take a break around Week 13 for the Pro Bowl, allowing all players to rest and return for the final games in better health.



“I think you all know in the last CBA negotiation, 17 [games] wasn’t a pro forma decision,” Howell added. “Many of our members felt very strongly about the … support or the not-support of that. And actually, whether the CBA ultimately got approved or not kind of hung on that. So the other reason I was excited Roger [Goodell] put it out there is we can start that discussion now. We don’t have to wait until the week before a vote or even a year before a vote.”



<h2>NFL: When will the 18-game schedule be ready?</h2>



Howell’s words revealed that, while the conversations have just started, the league is very interested in adding one more game to its schedule. This change would draw more attention to the NFL, translating into increased revenue.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-announces-final-decision-about-the-tush-push-play"></div>


According to reports, the league is targeting this change for the 2025 season, though it might not be implemented until 2026. The timing will depend on the agreement between the NFL and the players.

With the new NFL season on the horizon, teams across the country are gearing up for training camps. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals">Cincinnati Bengals</a> are kicking off their preparations with some of the best news possible.



According to reporter Kelsey Conway, Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor announced to local media that quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow">Joe Burrow</a> is cleared for contact following his serious injury. This development is particularly significant as training camps starts this week.



While Joe Burrow’s health situation has been clarified heading into the upcoming season, Coach Zac Taylor also addressed the upcoming training sessions. He made it clear that the quarterback will receive rest to prevent any potential injuries that could hinder his performance at the start of the season. Burrow’s return will be managed progressively to ensure he’s in top shape when the games begin.



It’s worth noting that towards the end of last season, in which the Bengals finished with a 9-8 record and missed the playoffs, Joe Burrow suffered a ligament tear in his right wrist. This injury not only forced him to leave the starting lineup but also required surgery to address the issue effectively.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240722_BUS_148772_Zac-Taylor-1-1024x576_6371e069.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Zac Taylor Cincinnati Bengals" class="wp-image-148812" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/Zac-Taylor-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/Zac-Taylor-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/Zac-Taylor-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/Zac-Taylor-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/Zac-Taylor-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Head coach Zac Taylor of the Cincinnati Bengals looks on during the third quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on January 29, 2023 in Kansas City, Missouri.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Bengals’ goals for the upcoming season</h2>



Although the Cincinnati Bengals ended last season with a winning record, they unfortunately fell short of their playoff expectations. In response, the organization acted swiftly to bolster the roster around quarterback Joe Burrow, aiming to enhance their talent pool and secure the AFC North title.



The Bengals have made significant moves drafting first-round tackle Amarius Mims and signing veteran free agent Trent Brown. Additionally, they’ve bolstered their skill positions by adding running back Zack Moss, tight end Mike Gesicki, and rookie wide receiver Jermaine Burton. With the dynamic duo of Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins already in place, Cincinnati’s offense is set to be a high-powered force this season.

Bengals have great news about Joe Burrow ahead of 2024 NFL season

Bengals have great news about Joe Burrow ahead of 2024 NFL season - Bolavip US

After the retirement of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a>, there’s no question that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> became the best quarterback in the NFL by leading the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> to three Super Bowl victories in five seasons.



It’s a remarkable achievement which could have epic proportions if the Chiefs manage to win a third consecutive ring. However, that’s not going to be easy with many quarterbacks trying to dethrone Andy Reid’s team.



The big question is who can emerge as a true contender. Joe Burrow is back with the Cincinnati Bengals, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott">Dak Prescott</a> put MVP numbers with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a>, Jordan Love is Aaron Rodgers’ heir for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers">Green Bay Packers</a> and there are other stars on the radar like Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson.



<h2>Who are the Top 10 NFL quarterbacks?</h2>



ESPN just revealed a very interesting survey among coaches, executives and scouts to determine who are currently the best quarterbacks in the NFL. Of course, Patrick Mahomes is No.1, but, the rest of the list is full of surprises.







1.- Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs). 2.- Joe Burrow (Cincinnati Bengals). 3.- Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills). 4.- Lamar Jackson (Baltimore Ravens). 5.- Matthew Stafford (Los Angeles Rams). 6.- Justin Herbert (Los Angeles Chargers). 7.- CJ Stroud (Houston Texans). 8.- Aaron Rodgers (New York Jets). 9.- Jared Goff (Detroit Lions). 10.- Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys).


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/dak-prescott-threatens-to-leave-dallas-cowboys"></div>


<h2>Who is currently the best NFL quarterback?</h2>



Patrick Mahomes is definitely in a different category after winning three Super Bowls. However, although he is recovering from an Achilles injury, Aaron Rodgers’ accolades are way superior than the names from No.2 to No.7.



Dak Prescott is another interesting example. Last season, before the start of the playoffs, he was a leading candidate to claim MVP over Lamar Jackson. Dak is at the bottom of this Top 10.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240202#BUS#101750"></div>


Many experts and fans have pointed out that Justin Herbert doesn’t deserve the No.6 spot considering he hasn’t led the Chargers to the promised land and is constantly dealing with injuries. Matthew Stafford has also raised many questions as a Top 10 quarterback before the star of the 2024 season.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cincinnati Bengals</a> may have lowered their chances of winning the upcoming <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a>. The AFC North team could lose Tee Higgins soon, so here are some possible landing spots for the wide receiver.



For many analysts, the Bengals are one of the top contenders for the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season. Since <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Burrow</a>‘s arrival in 2020, the club has significantly improved, boasting a strong roster that has supported the quarterback over the years.



Despite Joe Burrow’s undeniable talent, the team knows he can’t do it all by himself. That’s why they have been adding several players to help him succeed, but now he is set to lose one of them very soon.



<h2>Which teams could be interested in Tee Higgins?</h2>



Oddsmakers have the Bengals as true contenders to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy this season. The AFC North club has a top-tier quarterback, which is essential for fighting for the championship.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-joe-burrow-could-lose-star-player-with-cincinnati-bengals"></div>


However, Burrow needs to be surrounded by elite players to achieve success. He has two remarkable wide receivers, but one of them could leave in the near future.



According to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, Tee Higgins won’t sign a contract extension before the deadline on Monday. He was seeking a new deal, but it seems like the Bengals are not going to offer him one for the upcoming season.



With the franchise tag, Tee Higgins is set to make $21.8 million this year. It is significantly more than what he would make per season under a new contract, but the downside is that it is a one-year deal.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240716_BUS_146105_Joe-Burrow-starting-quarterback-of-the-Cincinnati-Bengals-1-1-1024x576_2ad6a229.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Joe Burrow, starting quarterback of the Cincinnati Bengals" class="wp-image-146165" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/Joe-Burrow-starting-quarterback-of-the-Cincinnati-Bengals-1-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/Joe-Burrow-starting-quarterback-of-the-Cincinnati-Bengals-1-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/Joe-Burrow-starting-quarterback-of-the-Cincinnati-Bengals-1-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/Joe-Burrow-starting-quarterback-of-the-Cincinnati-Bengals-1-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/07/Joe-Burrow-starting-quarterback-of-the-Cincinnati-Bengals-1-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Joe Burrow could lose one of his favorite wide receivers this year.</figcaption></figure>



According to rumors, the Washington Commanders, New York Jets, New England Patriots, and Los Angeles Chargers could be interested in Higgins, but the Bengals have the final say on this matter.



<h2>What are Tee Higgins’ salary expectations?</h2>



According to Spotrac, Tee Higgins could sign a 5-year, $98.5 million deal with his next team. This would pay him nearly $19.8 million per season, making him one of the top-25 highest-paid wide receivers.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/ex-nfl-qb-slams-bengals-joe-burrow-over-his-18-game-schedule-proposal"></div>


As of today, the Commanders seem like the best landing spot for Higgins. However, it will depend on Brandon Aiyuk’s situation, as he is Washington’s first option if he’s released by the 49ers.

Tee Higgins' franchise tag: Possible landing spots for the Bengals wide receiver

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals will try to win their first Super Bowl in franchise history. It’s not going to be an easy task considering the dominance shown in the last years by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>.



In the end, most of their chances depend on Burrow’s health. Last season, the star quarterback suffered a serious wrist injury and, from that moment on, the Bengals’ hopes faded.



Now, the big question is if the Bengals have a roster with the caliber to compete in the NFL. The AFC is absolutely loaded and, in the other conference, many teams are dangerous contenders like the San Francisco 49ers, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/green-bay-packers">Green Bay Packers</a> or the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a>.



<h2>Will Tee Higgins sign a contract extension with the Cincinnati Bengals?</h2>



According to a report from Ian Rapoport, Tee Higgins won’t receive a long awaited contract extension from the Cincinnati Bengals. As a consequence, the wide receiver’s future is suddenly in jeopardy.







Although Higgins is locked for the 2024 season with the franchise tag, next year he will become one of the most important free agents in the league. A few months ago, Tee even asked for a trade but Cincinnati didn’t conceed.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/dak-prescott-threatens-to-leave-dallas-cowboys"></div>


The deadline for the Bengals and Higgins is July 15, but, the information points out there will be no agreement. This means that Joe Burrow is prone to lose one of his key teammates toward the long term future.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> is very interested in creating an 18-game season in the near future. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Burrow</a> recently contributed with a huge advice to help the league with this initiative, but a former quarterback has criticized him for his proposal.



In recent years, the NFL has been exploring ways to increase fan interest in football. The league is aware of its growing fanbase and aims to provide an even better show.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/roger-goodell" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Roger Goodell</a>, the league’s commissioner, is promoting the idea of an 18-game regular season. Joe Burrow has put forth an interesting proposal for it, but not everyone is comfortable with his idea.



<h2>Chase Daniel judges Joe Burrow over his 18-game schedule proposal</h2>



It seems like Joe Burrow wants to play more games each season. Despite his recent injuries, the quarterback is interested in intensifying the schedule in the near future.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/bengals-joe-burrow-crafts-the-perfect-plan-to-fix-the-intense-nfl-schedule"></div>


The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cincinnati Bengals</a> quarterback recently addressed the idea of having 18 games in the regular season. While the NFL has yet to determine the best way to implement this change, Burrow has come up with a brilliant idea.



“Gotta have two bye weeks,” Burrow answered. “And I think it’d be cool to do normal bye weeks like it is now. Have it spread out. But then, like, Week 13, do the Pro Bowl break. Where you have the 7-on-7 and all the skills challenges, like the NBA does.”



However, he has now faced intense backlash over his words. Chase Daniel, a former NFL quarterback, rejected Burrow’s idea, arguing that the league’s schedule is already too stacked to add another game.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240712_BUS_144086_Joe-Burrow-Cincinnati-Bengals-NFL-2022-1024x572_e7c22637.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="Joe Burrow - Cincinnati Bengals - NFL 2022" class="wp-image-54464" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/Joe-Burrow-Cincinnati-Bengals-NFL-2022-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/Joe-Burrow-Cincinnati-Bengals-NFL-2022-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/Joe-Burrow-Cincinnati-Bengals-NFL-2022-768x429.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/Joe-Burrow-Cincinnati-Bengals-NFL-2022.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Joe Burrow – Cincinnati Bengals – NFL 2022</figcaption></figure>



“I guarantee you every NFL player seeing this is NOT happy with Burrow for saying this,” Daniel tweeted. “The NFLPA is already having meetings about damage control. … This is what happens when a Top 5 QB speaks in favor of 18 game season.”



<h2>Should the NFL do an 18-game regular season?</h2>



In case the NFL wants to follow Joe Burrow’s advice and create an 18-game schedule for the regular season, several things should change to make it feasible and effective.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-bengals-qb-joe-burrow-admits-he-wants-to-play-for-a-new-team"></div>


Players are currently under a lot of pressure, both mentally and physically, so adding one more game could increase the risk of injuries, just as Chase Daniel mentioned. However, it seems like the league is really keen on changing the schedule to include one more game in the regular season.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cincinnati Bengals</a> have received shocking news from <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Burrow</a>. Out of nowhere, the quarterback announced his desire to play for a new team, surprising his club with this information.



In 2020, the Bengals were granted the 1st overall pick in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl-draft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL Draft</a>. It was clear that the AFC North team would select Joe Burrow, the best college prospect for the position at that time.



The former LSU quarterback had an outstanding college career, which has continued in the NFL. He is poised to guide his team to success, but he has now left the door open for a new adventure elsewhere.



<h2>Joe Burrow wants to play for the USA flag football at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics</h2>



Flag football is set to make its debut in the Summer <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/olympics" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Olympics</a> at Los Angeles 2028. The International Olympic Committee recently unveiled this information, exciting football fans everywhere.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/bengals-joe-burrow-crafts-the-perfect-plan-to-fix-the-intense-nfl-schedule"></div>


Flag football is a variation of the base sport, featuring some of its basic rules. Due to this similarity, several NFL players have expressed interest in joining the new USA team to compete for the gold medal.



Although this discipline will kick off in four years, Joe Burrow has openly admitted his desire to be the team’s quarterback. The USA could boast a remarkable roster, and having a top-tier player like Burrow could significantly improve their chances of winning the gold medal.



“I really want to play for the Olympic flag football team,” Burrow said on the “Pardon My Take” podcast. “Like Me, Ja’marr (Chase), Justin (Jefferson), Me and my friends out there playing football. . . . I think it’d be really cool.”

In four years, Joe Burrow will be 31 years old. He will be in the final years of the 5-year contract he recently signed with the Bengals, but his main objective now appears to be helping the USA win the first-ever gold medal in flag football.



<h2>Which could be the USA flag football roster for Los Angeles 2028?</h2>



The rules of flag football allow between 5 and 8 players on the field per team, but it is most common to see a five-player ruleset. Under this setup, the USA could boast a remarkable team at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

With the current level of NFL players, the starting team could include <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Patrick Mahomes</a> as the quarterback. The two main receivers might be Justin Jefferson and Tyreek Hill, while the offensive line could feature Creed Humphrey and Trent Williams.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow admits he wants to play for a new team

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> is looking to increase the number of regular season games in the near future. The league has struggled to build the perfect schedule for this, but it seems like <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Burrow</a> has devised a flawless plan to implement an 18-game campaign.



In recent years, the NFL has tried to add more games to its usual schedule, arguing that fans want to see more football. However, they seem to be overlooking the main characters of the game: the players.



Since learning about the league’s intentions to increase the number of regular season games, several players have expressed their opposition. However, Joe Burrow has helped the NFL by developing a new schedule that avoids harming the players.



<h2>Joe Burrow designs the ideal plan for an 18-game NFL season</h2>



The NFL is very interested in adding one more game to the regular season. The league is aware of the growing interest in football in recent years and is looking to leverage this to gain more viewers for an additional week.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/joe-burrow-issues-strong-warning-to-the-entire-nfl-about-the-2024-bengals"></div>


Nevertheless, several players have blatantly rejected this idea. Most of them argue that they wouldn’t have enough rest to face the playoffs. However, Joe Burrow has found the perfect plan to add one more week to the schedule.



The quarterback of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cincinnati Bengals</a> addressed this matter during an interview on Pardon My Take. He was asked about the possibility of adding one more game to the regular season and gave a straightforward response.



“Gotta have two bye weeks,” Burrow answered. “And I think it’d be cool to do normal bye weeks like it is now. Have it spread out. But then, like, Week 13, do the Pro Bowl break. Where you have the 7-on-7 and all the skills challenges, like the NBA does. Because I think that would give more ratings for the Pro Bowl and then it would also give everybody that bye week going into the last six games of the year.”

Burrow’s idea is very simple, but effective. The Pro Bowl has struggled lately to attract more attention. Despite the league’s efforts to introduce more dynamic activities each year, fans remain uninterested in this weekend.



<h2>Should the NFL use Joe Burrow’s idea for an 18-game season?</h2>



Burrow’s idea would not only help the NFL fix the Pro Bowl but also solve a significant problem: injuries. By allowing some players to recover for the last part of the season, the level of play in the final games would increase.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/not-the-super-bowl-joe-burrow-names-his-main-objective-for-the-2024-season"></div>


“And then you have guys that are injured that would be able to potentially come back,” Burrow said. “And you want your best players out there as a league. You want them out there the last six weeks of the season. You want your best players on the field. So I think that would be a smart idea.”

Bengals' Joe Burrow crafts the perfect plan to fix the intense NFL schedule

A new <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season is about to start, and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cincinnati Bengals</a> are once again regarded as a very strong team. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Burrow</a> has issued a strong warning to the entire league about his club’s intentions this year.



In just a few weeks, all 32 NFL teams will begin their journey toward <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> LIX. Several teams are considered contenders, with the Bengals being one of them.



Joe Burrow, the team’s starting quarterback, had a rough 2023 due to several injuries throughout the campaign. However, he’s now ready to face a new season and guide his team to success.



<h2>Joe Burrow Confident in Bengals’ Chances to Win the AFC North in 2024</h2>



The AFC North has undoubtedly improved in recent years. In 2020, the Bengals drafted Joe Burrow as the 1st overall pick, and he has definitely bolstered the team since then.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-jerry-jones-has-started-a-war-between-the-cowboys-and-the-bengals"></div>


However, the Bengals are not the only team that has increased its level of play recently. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baltimore Ravens</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cleveland-browns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Browns</a> have also created highly competitive rosters, while the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Pittsburgh Steelers</a> remain a strong franchise despite recent struggles.



In his four years in the NFL, Joe Burrow has won the AFC North twice (2021 and 2022). Nevertheless, in 2023, the Ravens took the title, but the Bengals quarterback is ready to reclaim the division this year.



When asked about the possible standings of the AFC North, Joe Burrow didn’t hesitate to state that the Bengals will finish first. The former LSU player wants to prove to everyone that he’s the best quarterback in the league by leading his team to success.







“That’s what happens when you get hurt,” Burrow said on the “Pardon My Take” podcast. “You don’t play football, people forget about you. … I love the spot I’m in. … You’re not out there, people aren’t watching you, then there’s nothing to talk about. So I’m gonna give people something to talk about this year. I’m excited.”



<h2>How many AFC North titles do the Bengals have?</h2>



The Cincinnati Bengals have won the AFC North division title six times. Their titles came in the years 2005, 2009, 2013, 2015, 2021, and 2022. Before 2005, the club won the AFC Central division, which was the precursor to the AFC North, four times.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/bengals-qb-joe-burrow-warns-patrick-mahomes-chiefs-ahead-of-2024-nfl-season"></div>


The team has seen various periods of success in the division, most notably during the 2010s and their recent resurgence with Joe Burrow leading the team.

Joe Burrow issues strong warning to the entire NFL about the Bengals

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Burrow</a> is set to start a new campaign with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cincinnati Bengals</a>. Ahead of the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season, the quarterback has unveiled his main objective this year, and surprisingly, it is not winning the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a>.



For many football analysts, Joe Burrow may be the best quarterback in the entire league. The former LSU player has helped the club compete again in the AFC North, winning two division titles since his arrival in 2020.



In just his second year in the NFL, Burrow guided his team to Super Bowl LVI. Unfortunately, the Bengals lost to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Rams</a>, missing out on what would have been a remarkable ending to the season for Joe B.



<h2>Joe Burrow unveils his main objective for the 2024 NFL season</h2>



Nobody can deny the talent that Joe Burrow possesses. He is one of the most dynamic and precise quarterbacks in the entire league, impressing everyone with his performances each week.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231117#BUS#86351"></div>


Unfortunately, injuries have hindered his ability to perform at his best. In his rookie season, Burrow suffered a torn ACL in Week 11. Last year, he dealt with wrist and calf issues that cut his season short.



Joe Burrow has had enough of dealing with injuries. Ahead of the 2024 NFL season, he has identified his biggest challenge: staying healthy for the entire campaign. His priority is not just winning the Super Bowl but maintaining his health throughout the season.



“Well, number one, I want to be on the field for all the games,” Burrow recently told Complex Sports. “I know I’m going to play well when I’m out there. I’m at that point in my career where I’ve seen enough to know myself that I can go out there and play as well as anybody in the game. The biggest strides this year are going to be my body and learning how to get through the season, get through practices with my body, and feeling in tip-top shape. And so that’s the main focus for the offseason.”

The Bengals are on a very tough division, as the AFC North has really improved recently. As of today, it seems like Cincinnati will compete with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baltimore Ravens</a> for the title, but if Burrow stays healthy, this competition may be favoured for his team.



<h2>What is Joe Burrow’s contract with the Cincinnati Bengals?</h2>



Joe Burrow is one of the most talented quarterbacks in the NFL. The Bengals recognize they have a player who could lead them to success in the near future, and they are determined to keep him.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/bengals-qb-joe-burrow-warns-patrick-mahomes-chiefs-ahead-of-2024-nfl-season"></div>


Last year, the Cincinnati Bengals made Joe Burrow the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL. The AFC North team offered him a lucrative 5-year, $275 million deal, including $210 million in guaranteed money.

Not the Super Bowl: Joe Burrow names his main objective for 2024 - Bolavip US

Joe Burrow has been probably the biggest threat for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> in the AFC. The Bengals’ quarterback leads the head to head 3-1 and, just two years ago, Cincinnati stopped the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> with a thrilling 27-24 win on the road in the playoffs.



Although Josh Allen has the most marketable rivalry with Mahomes, the truth is only two names have been able to beat Pat in elimination games. Burrow and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a>.



However, due to a surprising wrist injury, Joe Burrow couldn’t fight last season for another <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a>. Now, just weeks before the start of preseason, the former player of LSU sent a pessimistic message.



<h2>Joe Burrow fears NFL retirement due to injuries</h2>



If Joe Burrow stays healthy, the Cincinnati Bengals should be contenders to win the AFC North and a very dangerous team in the playoffs. The big problem is that the quarterback might be losing confidence in his body.







“Whenever the injuries start to stack up, your football mortality kind of comes into the back of your mind. So, that’s definitely something I’ve thought about and something I have had to fight through.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/dak-prescott-threatens-to-leave-dallas-cowboys"></div>


Considering this scenario, Burrow admitted there’s a different approach for him at Bengals’ camp. “That’s something we’re being more proactive about this year. We don’t have to be ready to go in the middle of June. We have to be ready to go early September through February. That’s how we’re attacking this offseason and this rehab plan and these practices and training camp. We’re attacking it like I want to be out there playing in February.”



Joe Burrow acknowledged that he is working to be stronger mentally as injuries have become the enemy. “You always forget how hard it is coming back from injury. There’s always peaks where you’re like, ‘I’m feeling great,’ and then a couple of months later you have a couple of days where it’s like, ‘Man, I’m not feeling that great.’ In the past I pushed through that and caused problems for myself, and this year I’m not doing that.”

And with Brady already retired, Burrow is once again the biggest hurdle the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kansas City Chiefs</a> might have to get past.



Of course, Andy Reid’s squad is still the team to beat in the league. They’ve won back-to-back Super Bowls and will strive to become the first-ever three-peat winner.



That’s not an easy task, and it should come to a point in which someone eventually figures them out. Notably, Burrow thinks the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cincinnati Bengals</a> could be that team.



<h2>Joe Burrow Says Someone Will Take Down The Chiefs</h2>



“Yeah, they were great,” Burrow said. “Their defense was one of the best in the league, they have great players on that side of the ball. And then, obviously, they’ve got Patrick and Travis and their O-line and those playmakers. They’re the gold standard right now. Everybody’s chasing them — obviously, they’re back-to-back world champs. Somebody’s got to knock them off, I’m hoping it’s us.”

<h2>Burrow Likes The Bengals’ Chances</h2>



The Bengals have had success against the Chiefs in the past, and they have a brewing rivalry that should be very entertaining for years to come. With that in mind, the star QB talked about the additions they made in the offseason:



“I feel good about all the guys we brought in — offense and defense,” Burrow continued. “We brought in the right kinds of guys, good players, guys that we’ve played against in the past that we’ve had experience with that we know what they have out there. And then we’ll see what the rookies have when they come in. It’s always nice when those guys get into the building — you can start to really build that team culture and integrate those guys into it. So, I’m excited about where the team’s at.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/bengals-qb-joe-burrow-warns-patrick-mahomes-chiefs-ahead-of-2024-nfl-season"></div>

 

 


The Chiefs hold bragging rights over almost every other side in the league, but their pursuit for a three-peat won’t be an easy one. Whether Burrow will be able to put his money where his mouth is remains to be seen.

The Cincinnati Bengals were supposed to be Super Bowl favorites with Joe Burrow coming back at full strength. It’s important to remember that, following the retirement of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a>, Burrow is the only one who has been able to defeat <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> in the playoffs.



However, it’s not going to be an easy task in the AFC North. The Baltimore Ravens just got stronger by signing Derrick Henry, the Browns have a tremendous defense and the Steelers upgraded their quarterback room with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. 



Furthermore, one of the keys for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals">Bengals</a> was to keep their offense intact. However, Joe Mixon has signed with the Houston Texans and Tee Higgins isn’t happy with the team, so he could leave the team.



Now, in shocking news for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>, Cincinnati have more problems as a defensive star officially requested to be traded.

<h2>Trey Hendrickson wants to be traded</h2>



Trey Hendrickson has officially requested the Cincinnati Bengals to be traded. The defensive end is one of the best players in the NFL after an extraordinary 2023 season with 17.5 sacks. 


 

 


The situation is really complicated for the Bengals as wide receiver Tee Higgins has also asked for a trade in recent weeks. Two stars could be gone very soon considering their financial demands.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/dak-prescott-threatens-to-leave-dallas-cowboys"></div>


In 2023, Hendrickson decided to stay with the Bengals with a one-year,$21 million contract. Now, Trey wants a long-term commitment from Cincinnati with a big payday. If it isn’t available, he will play somewhere else.

Patrick Mahomes and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> will be chasing an unprecedented three-peat in 2024, but the question is whether someone will stand on their way. According to Joe Burrow, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals">Cincinnati Bengals</a> can be that team.



“I think we match up pretty well with them,” Burrow told Jason and Travis Kelce in a recent episode of their ‘New Heights’ podcast, via Sports Illustrated. “We’re kind of built to beat them.“



If there’s anyone who has arguments to believe he can take down Andy Reid’s team, that’s <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow">Burrow</a>. The former first-overall pick gained the upper hand not once, not twice, but three times against the Chiefs.



All three wins came in 2022, including a hard-fought victory in the AFC Championship Game to lead Cincinnati to a long-awaited <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> appearance. Burrow’s only loss to Kansas City came in the 2023 AFC title game, with the Chiefs making Super Bowl LVII thanks to a game-winning field goal.

“Both teams have big-time players on defense, big-time defensive lines, so it makes for great matchup,” Burrow added. “… We both work really hard at what we do. They got great players, we’ve got great players.”

<h2>Bengals can contend thanks to Burrow</h2>



Burrow, 27, has turned the Bengals around since being selected first-overall in 2020. While the first season was challenging, it didn’t take long for the LSU product to make Cincinnati a contender.



He took the franchise to an unlikely Super Bowl trip in 2021-22, making it all the way to the AFC Championship Game the following season. 2023 was more challenging, with Burrow playing through pain until a wrist injury in Week 11 ended his season.



The Bengals still have a star-studded offense though, and with Burrow only in his fifth year in the league, we can expect him to continue making Cincinnati one of the most competitive teams in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>.



<h2>Mahomes, Chiefs expected to have another great year</h2>



While Burrow can be seen as a threat to the Chiefs’ three-peat aspirations, the truth is the rest of the league should continue to fear Kansas City. With three Super Bowls in five years, it looks like this dynasty is just getting started.

Apart from Mahomes, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/andy-reid">Reid</a>, and Travis Kelce coming back to keep the core of the dynasty untouched, the team managed to bring back other key contributors to its success, including DT Chris Jones and LB Drue Tranquill.

GM Brett Veach also made some interesting signings in free agency, with the arrival of star wideout Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown perhaps the most prominent move.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals">Cincinnati Bengals</a> were one of the biggest disappointments in the 2023 season. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-burrow">Joe Burrow</a> was out for the rest of the season when he aggravated a wrist injury during Week 11 against the Baltimore Ravens. From that moment on, they had no chance.



Jake Browning showed some flashes as backup quarterback, but the effort wasn’t enough. The Bengals posted a 9-8 record and finished in last place of the AFC North.



Now, with Burrow healthy, Cincinnati will be among the favorites to dethrone <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a>. However, in order to do that, they have to decide what will be the future of key pieces such as Tee Higgins.

<h2>Will Tee Higgins remain with the Cincinnati Bengals?</h2>



Yes. According to a report from Ian Rapoport, the Cincinnati Bengals informed Tee Higgins that he will be franchise tagged. As a consequence, the wide receiver is ready to get $21.8 million guaranteed for the 2024 season.







With that decision, head coach Zac Taylor keeps his core group on offense. Higgins, Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and Joe Mixon. If they stay healthy, the Bengals could take over the AFC North and then make a run in the playoffs.

It won’t be an easy task. Lamar Jackson is the reigning MVP with the Baltimore Ravens, the Browns have one of the best defenses in the NFL and, even with a third-string quarterback, the Pittsburgh Steelers made it to the playoffs.
