The Cincinnati Bengals have the main piece, the piece every NFL team wants. That’s the quarterback. The Franchise Quarterback. The Bengals have Joe Burrow. He’s the foundation.
And despite the Bengals’ 23-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LVI on Sunday, there’s every reason to believe that, with Burrow at the helm, Cincinnati should be in prime position for another run at the NFL title next season. For many seasons to come, actually. That is if the Bengals play their cards right.
I know, I know, the Bengals are owned by Mike Brown, a well-known skinflint who rarely opens his wallet. So everyone says. Only here’s the thing: One reason Cincinnati made it to SoFi Stadium is because Brown signed a slew of free agents over the last two years, especially on defense.
