Analyst Shoots Down Idea of Joe Burrow "Lobbying" for Ja'Marr Chase
CINCINNATI — Will Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase reunite in Cincinnati?
That's a question that plenty of people have been asking over the past few months. The conversation ramped up in recent weeks with Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reporting that Burrow was "stumping" for Chase.
"Word on the street is that Joe Burrow is stumping for Cincy to bring his old Tiger teammate to Ohio," Breer wrote. "And the Riley Reiff signing gives the Bengals the flexibility to add a playmaker who’s an ideal stylistic fit for their quarterback."
A Bengals coach shot down that report according to Trey Wingo of Pro Football Network.
“You’ve heard a lot this week about Joe Burrow potentially lobbying for Ja’Marr Chase," Wingo said. "I can tell you that I got a text today from a member of the Bengals coaching staff that said, ‘I’ve seen that out there. Not sure where that came from. That’s not Joe, that’s not how he is at all. He gives us great intel on LSU guys but is respectful of his role as a player and ours as coaches and scouts.'”
Of course the coaching staff isn't going to admit that Burrow is pushing for Chase. He might be lobbying for a reunion, while still respecting his coaches and the front office.
Both reports could be accurate. The coaching staff may also want to quiet the Chase to Cincinnati talk as much as possible. Or maybe they're all in on Oregon tackle Penei Sewell.
Regardless of the reports, it's pretty safe to say Burrow would love to reunite with the star wide receiver. Will it happen? We won't know that until draft night.
The 2021 NFL Draft starts on Thursday, April 29 at 8 p.m.
