What if Burrow pulls an Eli

[J24]

And says I'm not playing for the Bengals? What should the Bengals do?

[THE PISTONS]

Could you blame him?

He's from Ohio though isn't he?

[*bfine32*]

When did Eli say he wouldn't play for the Bengals?

Yes 
Yes- but that might make it worse because he knows how bad the organization is.

I do.

They should trade the pick, get what they can, and draft someone with a nut sack.

I don't think it is going to happen but if it does *I* would draft Chase Young. This team, owned by this ownership will probably draft him anyways and have some sort of destructive fight to see who can hold out longer.

I hope he does do that. He's a one year wonder who exploded since that guy from the Saints came on board... Who the **** on this staff is gonna coach him up like that?

He's probably thinking of Peyton Manning, I think he refused to play for the Chargers and went to the Colts instead in a "forced" trade thanks to his dad Archie or something like that.. I can't remember now any details.

Take Young, probably easier to fix the D at this point than the offense.

Either you're joking, or you have that all mixed up...

Eli was drafted by and refused to play for the Chargers and was traded to the Giants.  Peyton was drafted by and played for the Colts.

Eli and Elway have more SB titles than nutsacks, so time will tell how Burrow handles us drafting him if and when.

Hard to argue with four Lombardis vs two nutsacks.  

[Nicomo Cosca]

How could we draft Young if Burrow refuses to sign here? Wouldn’t another team already have him?

I believe they mean if he were to announce his intentions to not play here before the draft occurred, giving us time to mull our options.

Any QB who can stand to spend his whole career here should get a giant golden nutsack award.

Is that what Eli did? I thought they drafted him and he refused to sign.

And a free Frosty from Mike.  A small one, mind you, Frosties don't grow on trees.

Yeah, he publicly stated before the draft that he would not play in San Diego.  So, the Chargers worked out a deal beforehand with the Giants, drafted him, then traded him to the Giants.
