Cincinnati Bengals left tackle Orlando Brown Jr. has dismissed rumors that quarterback Joe Burrow wants to leave the team. Brown says the trade speculation is just a byproduct of the Bengals’ recent three-year playoff drought, and that Burrow remains committed to the city and the team.<\/p>\n

Why it matters<\/p>\n

The Bengals are facing an important offseason after missing the playoffs the past three years, and there has been growing speculation that star quarterback Joe Burrow could seek a trade. Brown’s comments help quell those rumors and suggest the team’s focus is on getting back to the postseason, not breaking up their core.<\/p>\n

The details<\/p>\n

During an appearance on the Up & Adams Show, Brown said ‘I think at the end of the day no matter where you are, winning cures all.’ He noted that the team’s recent lack of success is the real reason behind the trade rumors, not any internal friction. Brown emphasized that Burrow ‘gives his all for the city and he loves being a Bengal.’ Despite missing significant time in 2025 due to injury, Burrow still put up strong numbers, completing 29-of-39 passes for 236 yards and 3 touchdowns in the season finale.<\/p>\n
