CINCINNATI — Bengals fans have put up a new billboard in the tri-star area to call out the team's ownership. The first billboard said, "Fire Zac, Fire Duke, Save Burrow," while the new one says, "Be Owners, Hire A GM, Save Burrow."

ESPN insiders say Bengals sources haven’t indicated Joe Burrow wants out, but pressure is building for Cincinnati to upgrade in 2026.

Joe Burrow has been in the news regarding his football future, and with the Cincinnati Bengals eliminated from playoff contention for the third consecutive season, that conversation is only going to get louder with him at the forefront.

Derek Stingley Jr. (Houston Texans), Patrick Surtain II (Denver Broncos), Christian Gonzalez (New England Patriots) and Denzel Ward ( Cleveland Browns) were elected to represent the AFC in this year's Pro Bowl Games ahead of Turner and others. Stingley Jr. and Surtain will act as starters.

The Cincinnati Bengals reportedly declined a massive trade for the rights to QB Joe Burrow that would've shifted the NFL landscape.

CINCINNATI — ESPN's Field Yates dropped his latest 2026 NFL mock draft on Wednesday morning and slotted a defensive mauler with the Bengals at Pick 10. Cincinnati selected Miami (FL) edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. with the top-tier selection. ESPN's Football Power Index gives Cincinnati a 52.4% chance of landing a top-10 pick at 4-9 overall.

According to ESPN Research, the Bengals have a strong chance at a top 10 spot: “What's at stake: Both teams have been eliminated from playoff contention. The Bengals have 62% chance to land a top-10 pick in the draft, and the Dolphins have a 55% chance, according to ESPN Analytics.”

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase earned his fifth Pro Bowl nod, the NFL announced on Dec. 23.
