The Advocate and Clutchpoints are the only 2 websites that seem to be on the train of Bengals would listen.
Other places, Miami Herald, Cincinnati.com, etc say that the Dolphins covet Burrow, or the Bengals can expect the Dolphins to keep trying to trade up... but none of those articles sound like it is a reality.
But seriously, what is the worse that happens? They hold out till the draft and get 3 firsts this year, a first next year and maybe a second this year as well? That is a whole lot of draft capital for 1 guy who has still never thrown an NFL pass.
The worst that can happen is you trade away the rights to the #1 overall pick and a future HOF QB who wins multiple Lombardi Trophies for about three first round picks who turn out to be Ricky Hunley, Pete Koch, and Brian Blados - two guys who never played a down for you, and a backup O-Lineman. Like the Bengals did in 1984.
