ESPN has a "fan misery index" and while I know this will shock some of you, they actually took things into account other than "last playoff win". Based on their calculations the Bengals were only the TWELVETH most miserable franchise.
Since we don't see players taken first in the draft by other horrible teams refusing to play I doubt we will see it happen to the Bengals this year.
Burrow will likely take the high road and consider it an honor to be Drafted 1st overall and come to the Bengals.
Myself (as someone being from Cincinnati) were I to be in Joe Burrow's shoes, would find it very tempting to take a lower road given having to endure Mike Brown's tenure as Owner of the Bengals all these years as a fan.
A Bengal Fan having a chance to get some Leverage on Mikey boy to force some changes is where my Depthchart fan side is coming from and if I were Joe Burrow I may not want to risk having a no Playoff win career in Cincinnati like Palmer & Dalton had in Cincinnati.
I would want to know that Ownership is in the fight with me and is competent enough to reach the NFL's pinnacle. (Super Bowl)
The Cincinnati born and raised side of me has serious doubts in the Bengal Front Office.
