There are already rumors that star quarterback Joe Burrow could be traded by the Cincinnati Bengals this offseason and the Las Vegas Raiders have already been connected as a possible suitor.

We will talk much more of this topic in the offseason if the trade talks persist.

But we wanted to get ahead of the subject by addressing if the Raiders fans were on board on what would likely be a huge, huge price in terms of trade compensation for the Silver and Black to land Burrow.

It has already been speculated elsewhere it could cost up to three first-round picks and two second-round picks.

I’ve talked to some folks who think it could cost the Raiders their top pick in 2026 (even it’s the No. 1 overall pick), super pass-rusher Maxx Crosby and maybe even 2025 top pick, running back Ashton Jeanty. This is all speculation, but the point is, the Raiders would have to give up a ton in this trade and Crosby may have to be part of it.

So, we asked our readers, if hey would be on board for Burrow trade if it meant sending their 2026 first-round pick and, at least, Crosby for Burrow. The answer was a resounding ‘no” as more than 80 percent of the voters were against the idea.

I get it. The idea of trading Crosby is scary. Plus, Burrow, 29, has a history of injuries and a high cost in terms of contract. Also, without Crosby and a top pick, this rebuilding process would not be helped much even with the presence of Burrow.

So, we’re on the same page. Again, we will revisit in the offseason is the talks persist.

Here are some of your responses:

I am with everybody else. To expensive, to injury prone and will be unhappy about coming here.

Burrow injury history huge factor in my NO vote. Build this team with draft and quality/smart transactions by FA, trades and signings. Burrow is a top 5 QB when healthy and NFL QB is probably most important single position in sports but it doesn’t win championships and consistently competitive alone. Chessy I know, but players, coaches, front office and supported fanbase entirely together find success in the NFL.

Not against it, but we’d be crazy to give that many picks and pay his contract (55 million a year) for a guy that likely won’t make it through the season. He’s been injured every year since 2020, except for 2024.
