Former No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow sparked rumors after his cryptic and sad interview in the immediate aftermath of the Cincinnati Bengals' most recent loss. Bookies.com developed odds projecting whether or not Burrow would stay with the Bengals despite his long-term contract, which would obviously shakeup the NFL betting landscape next season and beyond.

Where Will Joe Burrow Go Next?  

Given Burrow’s five-year, $275 million contract extension runs through 2029 with a full no-trade clause, the most likely outcome for the former Heisman Trophy winner is to stay in the Queen City long-term.  

That’s why we’re giving Cincy -800 (or 88.9%) odds of keeping their franchise QB for the near-term, at least, though QB-needy franchises like the New York Jets (+3500), Los Angeles Rams and the Minnesota Vikings (+4500 each) could sneak in if the price is right.  

Two other teams to keep an eye on are the Las Vegas Raiders and Pittsburgh Steelers at +8000 apiece, as the former offers a NCAA and Super Bowl champion head coach (Pete Carroll), while the latter has one that’s won the Big Game with his current employer (Mike Tomlin).  

For now, Burrow’s set to make $25.250 million in base salary over this season and next, before ballooning up to  $48.039 million by 2029, potentially easing any worries about his long-term happiness with the Bengals organization.

What Would Burrow Add To New Teams?  

A lot. While Burrow’s stats in 2025 have fallen off from where he’s been in years past (thanks in large part to a Grade 3 turf toe injury), he’s still averaged a QBR of ~60 (per ESPN.com) through six seasons in the league, with 19,735 yards and 148 touchdowns (to 48 picks) with the woebegone Bengals.  

Throw in the fact that Burrow’s still only 29 years old and you can see why NFL GMs would kick down the door to get their hands on him, though Bengals GM Duke Tobin would be smart to weigh all his options before making any moves for the former top pick out of LSU.  

For now, what we know is that Burrow’s happiness under center for the Bengals is under fire, potentially leading him to seek a way out of town, with plenty of potential suitors should he and the brain trust in Cincinnati opt for a change of scenery in 2026.

Shades Of Carson Palmer?

A contentious divorce between the Bengals and a top pick at QB wouldn’t be a first. That’s because former franchise icon Carson Palmer exited the Queen City under similar circumstances in 2010.  

That’s when Palmer, who went 46-51 with 22,694 yards and 154 touchdowns in 97 games played with the Bengals from 2004 to 2010, couldn’t see eye-to-eye with Bengals owner Mike Brown, eventually leading to Palmer’s trade to the Oakland Raiders in 2011.   

Palmer, like Burrow, battled a litany of injuries for Brown’s bunch, telling the owner that his best playing days were behind him (in 2010), before going on to play 85 games with the Raiders and Arizona Cardinals.  

In those contests, Palmer managed to throw for north of 23,000 yards, hitting on 140 touchdown passes and posting a 46-37-1 record overall, though most of his success came in the desert with head coach Bruce Arians.  

Fast forward a decade-and-a-half and it seems like Brown and his leadership brain-trust might be on the verge of running another superstar QB out of town, with Burrow keeping all of his options on the table heading into the offseason.  

Q&A: 

 
Q: Is Joe Burrow really considering leaving the Cincinnati Bengals? 
A: Joe Burrow has not requested a trade, but his recent cryptic and emotional interview sparked speculation about his future. Bookies.com odds still favor Burrow staying in Cincinnati, though multiple trade scenarios are now being priced into the market.  

Q: Which teams are most likely to trade for Joe Burrow? 

A: If Burrow were to leave the Bengals, the New York Jets (+3500) lead potential destinations, followed by the Los Angeles Rams (+4500) and Minnesota Vikings (+4500), according to Bookies.com odds.
