I've been a Bengals fan for 45+ years. The front office has been taking baby steps on how they typically do things for the betterment of the team over the last 5 seasons. I believe this off-season will be a monumental period for the organization. Everyone knows you can't pay everyone, BUT if they figure out a way to pay Chase, Tee, and Hendrickson......WOW!!!! What a statement that would be for the organization, Team, and City.
CHEERS to ALL
Joe is the best thing that has happened to the Bengals for ever!
He is also single-handedly our real GM
@@DaveysWonderfulWorldthen all the players should have no problem coming back
@@jeffward-0021he’s not the reason they won’t
@@kingalbert513 I know that lol come on.
The Browns never fail to disappoint.
The front office screw this up I’m done… I have pulled for this team since 1968
They need to get they ish together ain't no excuse they better make the right decision
Won’t ever be another chance like this
Can’t blame you 😫
Same. I came in just behind you in 1970. They’ve already cost themselves probably $10M per year on Ja’Marr by delaying last year’s negotiations. If they don’t keep Ja’Marr, Trey and Tee, they can move the team to Cleveland for all I care.
I'm totally right there with you my man, 1979-80 for me. It's been a skipping record of a team for all these years
Can we please get these extensions done ASAP so we can finally focus on a strong start next season?? History has taught us that we don’t need distractions.
Agreed but they may need to actually sign after March 1st iirc... some date in March so that guaranteed money doesn't have to go into escrow until next year otherwise it's suppose to go into escrow this year iirc... but they should be able to get Tee and/or Trey done before that. That is if escrow is still a real thing... rumors that the Browns never put all or any into escrow for Deshaun
@@bengalsfandom623😂 bye Tee
My heart says: they’re gonna get this all done and we’re going to the Super Bowl
My head says: Nah, they’re gonna fuck this up
I know it would be unusual, but I wish Burrow, Chase, Higgins, and Trey would ask for a meeting with Mike Brown and front office staff. Keeping this core together would raise the confidence amongst the players and fan base as well.
Good idea!
Completely agree
Cincy messing up careers when they don’t move everything to keep their guys. If they don’t keep them how do you in good conscience allow or expect Burrow to put himself out 100%. He should look out for his longevity & leave then. Save body for SB team.
Bottom line: The team has made unparalleled gains in worth. Pay back Cincy & the fans worldwide by having some consistency & not making everything about money for the team. Share with the team the good you receive from their sweat & tears. Care more & pay players what they are worth. If you can’t then go to NFL & raise ceiling.
If they don't resign Tee Burrow is one step closer to leaving in a couple years.
Carson Palmer.
That would be the best thing for Joe Burrow in his career. This organization is bush league.
James you’re absolutely right. It can all be realistically done. The problem is this front office won’t do it for 1 simple reason that I’ve said for years. Mike Brown and the Blackburns don’t view winning as a priority. They want to spend as little as possible to sell out games and make a little profit. Winning is not something they prioritize like other (GOOD) franchises do.
i dont agree with this. Winning equals profits the more you win the more you profit.
@Joshn8807 agreed, but the FO can't see the forest for the trees. Hopefully, missing the playoffs after starting the season 1-4 was a wake-up call
They spent more than the chiefs, steelers, bills, browns and about the same as the 49ers, dolphins... in real money (not just cap)... Bengals just got it wrong with rankins and others... or Lou wouldn't or couldn't elevate most of the younger defenders (jury is still out)
To your point. They may have the cap space but you have to have the guaranteed money for that year up front plus everyone’s salary for that year up front. Do we think that the Brown family actually has it in the bank?
I like the way you said it “Show us who you are.” We’re not judging these players or their agents. We’re judging you-front office!
I’m with Joe, Get It Done!!
Keep speaking up Joe. Keep your team together. Do what it takes.
Love this video James! Call the front office out they need to step up and do the right thing for the people of Cincy that keep supporting the team and fans around the world
They won’t 😢
My Gramps passed away before he was able to see the Bengals finally win it all. How many years does Mike have left. Its time to put it all on the table.
Perfectly said James. "This off-season, we're going to find out who the front office really are." Get it done, and do it now. Don't waste this golden opportunity .
As LSU coach said after a meeting of coaches and Joe, “I guess we all know who’s the smartest guy in the room.” Message to Bengals: Listen to Joe!”
Who said this?
@@devindow9884 - Ed Orgeron
Coach O , Ed Ogeron
You guys cooked with this one 🔥
If Joey B says it, it is written.
Joe Burrow is so correct about the receivers need stay together the front office needs to get this done now
Glad to see him take his career & future seriously enough to talk to & impact team roster. You need to give the team what it needs. Even with Chase & Higgins Zach needs to iron out. No freebies or loses at beginning of season. They need all they can get and more. They need the intangibles. None of them brought it. I don’t think it’s as easy as firing the coaches. They need more. But every game every year counts. Losing in a remarkable year brings it home that they need something deeper to play for.
Preach it James!
What a great video, thanks for sharing the uplifting info James. 😊❤❤❤
Let’s go bengals nation
‘LETS GO’
Agreed. The key is start these discussions early so we can have a stronger offseason and maybe attract vets that want to play with such a high powered offense for less $$. Work smarter not harder front office.
I agree with this.Had the Bengals, signed Higgins and Chase, to new deals,a year or two ago.They would not, have cost anywhere near,what they are going to pay now.
2 things can be certain.
1. Jamarr & Tee will be back as Bengals long term because we have Joe Burrow.
2. We won’t have Joe Burrow if the Bengals don’t get these things done.
Preach James Preach!!!✊️
Keep up the great work James! Keep up the truth!!!
We really need Joe to leave a “👍🏽” on this video. 😂
@@LackaMaLoo hahaha I’m sure he appreciates it
@ keep a eye out for @NotJoe9 ! Lol
Listen and take heed , Mike, Katie, Duke!!
Act!!
Don’t wait til the last second!!
The bengals value went from 2 billion to 6 billion since Joe has been here. He’s made this organization billions
If only they had that in cash
@dabombgiggity123 each team is pulling in like $480 million a season. They have the money
@@shamrockshawtty They don’t have billions in cash
@@dabombgiggity123 they need billions to resign 3 players?
@@dabombgiggity123they have access to all the cash they need. Anybody who tells you otherwise is trying to sell you something
It ain’t gonna happen, it never happens and it never will until the Browns/Blackburns and Tobin are gone FACTS
Yep. And when it doesn’t happen this time, I want James to pivot his reporting to aggressively calling out the front office. Anything else would be fluff reporting.
The Brown's are never going to leave.They own the team.
Agree about their cap.You cut Hubbard,Cappa,Rankins,and maybe Stone.That is going to create,a ton of cap space.
Letting Higgins get away without anything in return is criminal. Browns/Blackburns are a bunch of bums
Hell yeah. Get lippy, JR. Speak truth to power and don’t hold back.
People have been telling me for months that I'm overreacting that Joe Burrow will initiate his departure and that the first domino will fall if we don't extend both Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase. I'm telling everybody that will listen......this will be the beginning of the end of the Joe Burrow era in Cincinnati.
ive been saying this since the beginning of the season
That would be the best thing for Joe Burrow’s NFL career. He will not win a Super Bowl playing for this dysfunctional organization.
If they dont extend Tee or extend Hendricksen who will replace them. Those people are not on the squad and they wont get equivalent value or production from the draft or free agents. They havent found an adequate replacement for Boyd or Perine.
exactly theyre freakin morons...
Or jessie bates for that matter
Joe B is speaking for the fans. I don't have any interest in to pouring my heart into a team that has no chance for a SB win. And this from a fan since their inaugural season.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again what is taking them so long to do it just pay them like it’s not that hard. Yes it’s a lot of money but they can figure it out. I don’t understand why every other franchise in the NFL can do this, but the Bengals have such a hard time doing it.
Joe Burrow has sacrificed his body for 5 years and put up with bad drafting and a caca O line that nearly gets him killed every time he steps back to pass. Taylor and the front office are bumble brains. I wasnt impressed with what Tobin said at all. A lot of front office speak with no specifics.
Joe has been quiet for 4 years but after this years horrendous start (about par for Zac Taylor) he's fed up with it. Yeah he's been paid but nothing out of line of what he deserves given he's a top 3 QB if not the best and that includes Mahomes. He knows he's in his prime and if the championships dont come in the next few years, they will not come. Another bad start by Zac and if the defensive coaching changes and O line coach dont produce a team playing for the AFC championship, its time to move on. He's not going to put up with front office excuses about why they could not sign this player or that player.
Yeah, they need to get this done immediately, for the sake of Joe Burrow , as he leaves it all on the field every game. THEY SHOULD DO THE SAME!!!
It only starts with J’Marr, Tee and Trey. What about an o-line that can stop the rush and make holes for Chase Brown? What about a defence that keeps the opposing team under 20 points per game? We have four stars on this team and everyone else is suspect. We’ll never see the SB with that. I hope Joe leaves for a team that cares.
Joe Burrow said it perfectly. Those guys stepped up and proved their worth! The Team needs these guys, Burrow needs these guys, the fans want to see these guys play in a Bengals Uniform. The logical thing to do is exactly what Joe Burrow said; Pay them what they're worth! People who love their team want to see their Star Players in Bengals Uniforms! The Adult Fans to the young fans! I'm proud of Joe Burrow standing up for his Teammates! Joe Burrow is a Really Classy Guy!
James you hit the nail on the head. No more of the excuses of not being able to pay. Before Joe was drafted he talked to Bengals management about this exact issue. They assured him they were committed. Well the time has arrived and they better hold true . If not the fanbase will turn their backs on the Bengals. Because they will know that the Bengals misled Joe and if they will do that to a franchise player, they won’t think twice about doing it to them. The Bengals Management, the Blackburn Family, and Mike Brown are on the clock and if they don’t do this, the Bengals Organization is DEAD.
Guys, I feel your pain! I have been a fan since 1969 and we see it over and over. They will not do it and Joe will leave when his contract expires. And if he does, I am jumping ship finally and going with him. He deserves to be given a team that will win. 😢
If the bengals front office screw this up I will follow Joe burrow wherever he goes and become a fan of that team.
If you heard Andrew Whitworth explaining his experience negotiating with the Blackburn family, you would have very little confidence that they'll be able to keep this core together. I hope I'm wrong, but they've shown for decades that they are who they are. Cheap.
The reason is a 2 horse team now. Chase is ridiculous. The confidence those to inspire…… there is no drive against any team they can’t score on whenever they need to and the more desperate the situation the better they both play. It’s insane. I’ll give that one to Tee Higgins also. The rougher the situation the better for Tee. He starts playing like a man possessed. He lives for the clutch moments. That is why he wants to stay because his quarterback does also and succeeding in those moments is addicting. When you feel like there is nothing you can’t will into existence if you just put in enough effort. These 3 players are special together.
Get it done!
They can make a great history. Win a national title and a Super Bowl together
If you don’t sign Higgins who’s your number 2? You’re gonna have to go find one and it’s still gonna be expensive. Work it out with Chase Higgins and Hendrickson this week and come out to the media with that. This town would melt down.
Every time I hear some one saying take a pay cut I cringe. Imagine someone telling you to take a pay cut at your job. Yeah they make more zeros than I can count. But still quit checking their pockets
James doesn't it feel like this is the conversation we are having every offseason though. We are always wanting the Bengals to sign someone and they have notoriously failed to do so. Bates and Reader are the most current players to leave the team. Do you really think the Bengals get this done?
Well...Joe is vehement that he wants to win a Super Bowl with the Bengals. I read that Carson Palmer has talked with 'em. Joe's not messing around.
Look. Dont lose your identity Bengals. The NFlL sucks when every team is temporary. We want loyalty at least for a long time. Otherwise it’s a shuffle and no team has identity. Caleb is right he should want to be established for 20 years. You want returning fans year after year they want their team’s identity tear after year, year after year. Why? Because you need to nurse connections. If you do t fans lose interest!
They say you take Mixon & move him to Texans & I don’t get to root for him anymore. & that sucks for Cincy fans. Coaches need to keep & develop players.
Higgins, Chase & Burrow are the identity of Cincy. It’s not like a misfit at a team & fans will let them go. No, they are the very Cincy team. Don’t take rooting for them away unless you want to have a much less profitable & worthless franchise. The QB can’t play alone. He needs his team.
So ask #Bengals front office & let Joe have the say. And if he wants to keep 8. Let him. Make it work. Sell more concessions & pay. You need to be true to your loyal fans. In Los Angeles they said Cincy fans were the nicest. So be kind to your nicest fans and keep the players they love & that will win them a SB.
Yep, it’s time to get it done
We are toast if we don’t pay all of them! I will be furious if they don’t listen to Joe…
The way you explained this is so easy to follow. So thank you! I figured it would be the way they *could* do it, but thank you for making me feel sane.
Lifelong Bengals fan and season ticket holder here. Unfortunately I don’t believe the front office will get this right. Hopefully they prove me wrong!
Who Dey!!
You tell 'em Joe! Who Dey!!!!!
I love Burrow lighting a blow torch on the Front Office. There’s no more excuses. The fans have had it with the Organization’s incompetence.
James you should be the GM
This teams needs so much more,, If,, they are going to go to the SUPER 🏈 BOWL..
They never will if the NFL doesn’t want them to, look at Buffalo
You have to understand what the goal is of this franchise. That is to put a team on the field. That is being blunt. They put a team on the field, they state what they can and cannot afford at the RIGHT time. This isn't the RIGHT time yet. That time will come but being optimistic or hopeful NOW is better than nixing all that by delivering bad news right now. If and when for example, Tee Higgins, or even anyone else is offerred a deal, agrees to it, signs it, whatever is binding, then the time has come for Duke and Doom to speak out and try and just verbally console to fans for a moment and facilitate moving forward to the draft, OTAs, Training Camp, the season, etc. That is the way the game OFF the field is played in Cincinnati.
@@bigj6143 I don’t get your point here. They have plenty of resources to sign everyone right now.
Joe got screwed in the trivia game lol
all 3 AFC QBs kinda did
That wasn't a "statement" to the front office. That was just stating the obvious....
U made me think like he was out here giving ultimatums. 😂😊
James you've been on Vitamin fortified Wheaties or other stuff lately cause youve been SPOT ON! Yes this reminds us all of the Carson Malaise. Its heading that same way if the Family screws this up. Which of course is very likely given our history .
That’s how Philly did it!! And they got Jalen Carter in that trade!!! I know you gonna cry but this is what you do to win today! Pay Chase, Hendrickson and go get the other pieces
The crazy thing is that this is tough position to be in because both WRs deserve the cash based off what every other WR is getting. What do you do to keep them all. Boy do I miss Snead!
They will screw this up, we all know it.
Why be so negative tho 😂
They better not,step their game up,like the bigger teams do teams
@dashaallen More realistic than negative.
@@qtheband751 I said wat I said period 😂
@dashaallen ya that is funny.
If Bengals fail, magically in my opinion, to NOT re-sign Chase, Higgins, and at least Trey(NFL sack leader by a long shot with virtually NO HELP) I wouldn't be mad at Burrow for going somewhere else.
This might be a little premature, but I see Burrow working in the front office after his active career.
Doesnt his daughter handle alot of front office stuff now? Even so, I'd imagine the old man has to still have the final say. He runs it like your local small town Dairy Queen. They need to pay for the pieces they need. I think Burrow is the best pure passer in the whole league. He doesnt scramble and run like some of the others do, but hes mobile enough.
And i thought losing Jessie bates was worse but this could get much worse
I like Tee, but I think Jamar and Trey should be bigger priorities. They also need a top DT and help at G. I don't think they can sign them all.
@@theenemyiswithin570 they easily can. And address DT/guard.
Well I'll say it: make Joe Burrow the GM!
If this ownership and front office finds a way to push Joe Burrow away and ruin this era, I will rescind my allegiance to the Bengals. They have continued to disrespect their fans by being an unserious franchise. It’s lookin a lot like LeBron’s first stint in Cleveland.
I've been a Bengals fan since 1980 and I've seen only 1 game at Paul Brown because I live in Australia.
If the front office gets this done,, I'll buy a membership and I might be able to get to another game but if they mess up,, then I'm sure the Bungles tag will live on forever as the BIGGEST BUNGLE OF ALL TIME.
C'mon you guys and we all know it's more than a game. Don't run out of ink front office or they'll be running out to God knows where.
WHO DEY🐯🐯
We need a defense James i love Tee but Burrow can make any receiver look great. Stop with the bull bro 😂 u build around Trey period.
@dashaallen tell Joe to stop with the bull.
@@BengalsTalk I sure will 😂
Bengals fan for 40 years…. Now I’m a Joe fan. If Joe leaves this team I’m leaving with him. They better get this right.
The show was nothing but net! Well done!
Joe's a very intelligent guy and very grounded, but he also knows that he can be a historic quarterback if he has the right team around him. The question is whether the Brown family learned their lesson after Carson Palmer. But if they don't get this stuff done, look for Burrow to play his heart out this season, and if they fall short again, he will say "my talents are being wasted here," and go somewhere ownership is committed to winning.
When they win the spirits up in the city positive energy and movement
I don’t know the pay thing that well but can’t they just pay Tee, Jamar and Brother Trey and then have the new DC draft better people? Like, if the defense was even mediocre the Bengals are back in the playoffs. Or how about we do a go fund me for Tee?!
They don't need to worry about Trey. He will walk. He is strictly business. He's made that clear before. Possibly the best free agent signing ever at the position. The make your future doctrine of Paul Brown 70 yrs ago. Can not function in 2025. Remember the 81 team and the USFL. A third of that superbowl team left to seek their fortunes, the following season.
Either they want to win of they want to make money we will find out this off season
I hope they sign both chase and Tee 😂 go ahead and put most of your cap in 3 players and keep ignore that defense
Yup that's exactly wats going to happen 😂
The other 31 franchises in the NFL would have all these deals done by now! Bengals office should not be putting a price tag on winning a Super Bowl. Winning a Super Bowl pays for everything
Wtf is the Bengals plan? They won't spend top dollar for free agent, when they develop all pro talent, they let them walk..so what exactly is their game plan? Have 1 star player for ticket sales, and surround him with mediocre talent?
Must do must have.both
The national media is pushing a narrative that the bengals can’t afford these guys when the Bengals have plenty of cash. It’s a detriment to the fans and only benefits a front office that wants to be bailed out if the end up failing at something so easy. There is no rookie or free agent that is available that amounts to the value of tee Higgins
Great teams with stellar qbs have qbs that are willing to make team friendly deals. Otherwise, they are great qbs with ok teams. We have a great qb with an ok team. The offense is really good, but our team is just ok. (Because of the not team friendly deal)
The Bengals propaganda machine has done a good job convincing the fans they really don't have the money to keep our talent! .../makes smoke screen and magical distracting hand gestures "Ignore that other franchises can do this and we can't! Repeat after me, we don't have the money, we don't have the money ....."
This is your best job yet! You are so right.
No faith that Bengals will do anything but begrudgingly pay Chase
Not to be negative but these are same guys we missed the playoffs with and started 4-8 this year. I would trade Higgens and get some picks if possible. Remember we have to play defense too.
Can't cry poor all the time. They have the money, even Duke Tobin admitted this. They can sign all 3 and fill holes. Free agent class isn't great, they can sign a few mid tier guys.
😂😂😂
Hey James, I know you represent the team in a capacity where you have to be measured in what you say. You can’t just fly off the handle I get that. But can you please keep putting pressure on the Blackburn as much as possible! There’s only one chance to do this the right way and try to win a chip. And I know you are not making personnel decisions but you do have a voice. Keep using it. Tell Lap, Dan, and Hobbs to do the same
I think as long as Mike Brown is alive things will NOT change......unfortunately for us fans!
I love the bengals, but I seem to remember Tom Brady taking multiple pay cuts to keep players. Just saying if there’s a will, there’s a way.
So you’re blaming Joe? His deal is team friendly. The bengals have plenty of cash and cap.
They won’t pay Hendrickson and T Higgins. So if I had to pick one, it definitely be Hendrickson.
@ it should be both
the fact that they didn't get chase's deal done last season shows that the fo is not looking to build a championship roster. they are looking to make profit. they only want to pay two stars at most to keep you buying tickets. ownership needs to change their ways or gtfoh.
Holy crap, thats all he said and this dude got all of that? Reach more, geez.
Trey is more important that Tee, the fact they arent in the playoffs prove that.
They have to sign Chase, Trey and Tee. They can afford it. They aren’t paying big money to anybody else
a few smart moves and we win a championship
