Joey isn't having fun anymore, poor guy.... - StickierBuns - 12-11-2025
I'd be more than a little concerned if I were Bengal Nation:

Maybe he needs a change of scenery...he did well in purple and gold.

Yikes - Sounds like MORE than football to me. Hope he & his family / friends are OK.
These guys aren't JUST players - they're sons, husbands and fathers. Hope he's getting some support for whatever is weighing on him.

The dude has had 3 serious NFL injuries in his career already. That's a tough, grinding rehab period for each one. And if something else outside of football is stressing him out, I get how if the game isn't fun anymore, why would he keep doing it? And my guess is he'll probably get serious injury #4 at some point, which I'm sure is on his mind, and I think the thought is do I get out before that happens?
JMO but I don't think he's talking about a change of scenery....he's talking about possibly leaving the game.

I agree...
He's not even 30 yet...Rich, articulate, bright, good looking.
Guy still has the world by the balls..But we know they love the camaraderie of the game too.

Gottta be frustrating for Burrow, considering how much the Bengals are paying their QB/WR/WR group to get them "over the top." He gets hurt then comes back to a team out of the playoff hunt. They lose the Jets 38-39, lose to the Bears 47-42, then lose to the Bills 39-34.

I heard a couple weeks ago that he could be available if some team wanted to get stupid.

well if he was truly tired of not having a D, he could offer to rework his deal to leave some money for the weaker positions to get upgrades.... I seem to recall this working out for somebody in the past.
