Russell Wilson predicts Joe Burrow may leave Bengals if season fails

Former NFL quarterback Russell Wilson has suggested that Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow may seek a trade if the team fails to achieve success this season. Speaking as a studio analyst for CBS Sports, Wilson noted that Burrow is a highly competitive player who is focused on winning a championship.

Wilson indicated that if the current season does not go well in Cincinnati, Burrow might look to join another team that is in need of a quarterback. While Wilson acknowledged the talent available in Cincinnati, including receivers Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, he emphasized the importance of the organization protecting Burrow’s health to ensure team success.

In response to the speculation, Burrow has previously stated his commitment to the Bengals, telling Bengals.com that he is in the city for the ‘long haul’ and is approaching the season with a ‘now-or-never mentality’ to pursue a championship.
