The underlying thing here? Burrow’s priority is chasing championships. As long as the Bengals show they’ll provide the resources to put him in that position consistently, everything will be fine. So they should do that, rather than find out what happens if they don’t.

Colin Cowherd on Joe Burrow: "It's very hard to miss the playoffs when you have a great quarterback. One team that happened this year: Cincinnati."

Joe Burrow made his feelings perfectly clear when asked about the futures of Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Trey Hendrickson and Mike Gesicki last week at radio row. Burrow wants the Bengals to spend to not only keep their top players—but to put a championship team around him.
