Joe Burrow drops surprise Cincinnati Bengals trade hint after missing out  on playoffs again

CINCINNATI Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has not ruled out playing for another franchise in the future.

The 29-year-old has suffered an injury-hit NFL season after undergoing surgery for turf toe.

Baltimore Ravens v Cincinnati Bengals - NFL 2025

Burrow missed nine games in total, with the Bengals falling to 4-10 on the year.

Since returning to the team, the former No. 1 overall pick has failed to inspire a late-season revival.

He threw for just 225 yards, 0 touchdowns and 2 interceptions as Cincinnati were embarrassingly shut out by the Baltimore Ravens last week.

The loss ended the Bengals’ slim postseason hopes.

But Burrow – who is contracted until 2029 – is determined to play the remaining three fixtures after his injuries woes.

Some fans want the sixth-year QB to rest up and the team to tank for 2026 draft capital.

“It feels like everybody’s trying to do everything in their power to make me not play football and I feel like I’m fighting it,” Burrow told reporters Wednesday.

“I’m fighting everybody else. I just want to play ball. That’s all I want to do.”

Burrow was asked about interest from other teams around the league as the 29-year-old heads into his prime years.

“I can’t see that, no,” he replied when asked directly if there was a chance he “wouldn’t be back in Cincinnati next year.”

But a follow-up question raised the possibility of Burrow moving away from the Bengals later in his career.

“You think about a lot of things,” Burrow cryptically replied.

“I expect to play for a long time, and I expect to play well and consistently great for a long time,” he continued.

“I want to be in the conversations with people like [Tom Brady and Drew Brees who played until they were over 40].

“I do everything that I need to do for my body to prepare it for these games and for long-term success.”

Burrow’s apparent openness to an eventual move away from the Bengals sometime in the future got social media talking.

“I know they’re broke, but should probably start investing in an offensive line,” responded one fan on X.

“The second answer is the real one. Every elite player thinks about possibilities, but belief is what anchors them. Burrow sounds anchored,” said another.

“Rams win bowl, Stafford retires, and rams trade for Burrow,” predicted a third.

“Every elite QB knows a split-second decision by management or a market shift can alter careers. He’s acknowledging that silently,” wrote a fourth.

Burrow and the Bengals are next in action on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, who sensationally benched QB1 Tua Tagovailoa on Wednesday.
