NFL Trade Rumor: Atlanta Falcons could explore bold move for $275M Cincinnati Bengals star after disappointing season

The Atlanta Falcons have had a pretty poor run on the field in the last season with just 4 wins and 9 losses as the team was eliminated in Week 14 after its brutal loss against the Seattle Seahawks.It also marked the Atlanta Falcons missing the playoffs for the eight consecutive year. Ahead of the new season, it seems the Atlanta Falcons are focused on fixing the team’s roster.

Atlanta Falcons linked to Cincinnati Bengals’ star quarterback, Joe Burrow, after a disastrous run

A few hours ago, Bleacher Report‘s Moe Morton predicted that there is a chance that the Atlanta Falcons could make a move for Cincinnati Bengals’ star player, Joe Burrow.

Bleacher Report‘s Moe Morton noted in a recent report, “Next offseason, the Falcons will have the third-most cap space across the league with over $148 million.

They could offer multiple first-rounders to the Bengals and give Burrow a new deal.Bleacher Report‘s Moe Morton added, “Keep in mind that he has only one year of guaranteed money on his contract after the 2026 campaign…”Bleacher Report‘s Moe Morton continued, “Atlanta has quarterbacks Michael Penix Jr. and Tua Tagovailoa on the roster, but the former is once again recovering from knee surgery after an inconsistent second season, and the latter is only under contract for this year.

The Falcons’ new administration can wipe the quarterback slate clean for Burrow in 2027.”However, the Atlanta Falcons have not responded to the trade talks concerning Joe Burrow yet.The Cincinnati Bengals’ star quarterback, Joe Burrow, has always been a force to be reckoned with on the field.But last season proved to be a complicated time for Joe Burrow as he suffered from a brutal turf toe injury and could only play in 8 games.Even then, Joe Burrow finished the season with 1,809 yards, 17 touchdowns, and five interceptions as he earned Pro Bowl honors for the third time.Back in December, Joe Burrow did make a few cryptic comments which hinted at how he is open to a trade.While speaking to the media, Joe Burrow said, “If I want to keep doing this, I have to have fun doing it…You know, I’ve been through a lot and if it’s not fun then what am I doing it for. That’s the mindset I’m trying to bring to the table.” However, he later denied the speculations as he opened up about wanting to be in the Cincinnati Bengals.For now, all eyes are on how Joe Burrow bounces back on the field amid his brutal injuries.
