You also have to think that Westbrook would love to play with a quarterback like Burrow.  Westbrook can make plays all over the field and catch the ball anywhere, so you also have to think that Burrow would be excited to have him on the team.

I doubt he's wanting to chase a ring while he's this young (any more than a normal player wants to), and he has to think that signing a short contract here (2-3 years) and catching balls from Burrow would create an impressive resumé for future contracts.

Westbrook isn't THAT young.
He'll be 28 in November.
So he may only have 2-3 good years left before he declines.
Many WRs don't stay as effective once they hit 30.
I would hope that the Bengals can actually realistically go deep in the playoffs by 2023, which would be Burrow's 4th year, and thus might entice Westbrook to sign here, but if he wants to play for a contender this year, the Chiefs are a better option.
