It won't happen for a few reasons. First, if you were intending on trading the pick for a boatload of draft picks, you wouldn't also go crazy in FA. You would tank to try and get in position for a QB next year, then go just in FA.
The big play in the NFL now is you try and take advantage of having a QB on a rookie deal. All FA equates to is the Bengals trying to fix the defense so they don't waste Burrow's rookie year. Possibly, it's a good faith gesture to Joe and try to shake the "not serious about winning" narrative.
Burrow is a Mike Brown wet dream not only from a player standpoint, but from a marketing standpoint. He's not passing on him. He puts too much value on the QB position. He was a QB in college himself, for Pete's sake. Burrow is a great prospect and a potential goldmine for the franchise.
People will throw out trade scenarios because the pick is obvious and there has to be some kind of drama for tv. Miami was supposedly in love with Tua last year, too.
