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.

Burrow played a full season in 2024 and ran for 201 yards and two touchdowns on 42 carries. It was the second season in his career above 200 rushing yards (257 in 2022). He revealed a new move that fans could see in games this fall amidst a rare healthy offseason for the QB.
