Would Bengals really sign DeAndre Hopkins or Odell Beckham?

Joe Burrow has the attention of big name WRs. Would the Bengals really bring one to Cincinnati?

The idea of the Cincinnati Bengals going to get another wide receiver with a big name for Joe Burrow seems low on the priority list as free agency continues. But it’s not a complete non-factor, either. Stars want to play with Burrow.

That’s no shocker. And after the showings from the combination of third wideouts and tight ends last season, there’s room for the Bengals to add help. It doesn’t hurt, of course, that Burrow recently linked up with major names at a flag football tournament who happen to be free agents.

DeAndre Hopkins A free agent, DeAndre Hopkins had some interesting Burrow-Bengals hints on social media and caught a touchdown from the Bengals quarterback during the game itself. The reality? If Hopkins wants to settle for a cheap deal, the Bengals might be interested over the summer.

Hopkins only had a one-year deal worth $5 million in Baltimore last year. He’s turning 34 in June. If he wants to keep playing, it probably wouldn’t be a terrible gamble to see if he can compete for third wideout snaps during camp.
