The Cincinnati Bengals lost former superstar receiver AJ Green to Arizona, but they may be able to bring in another young dynamic receiver from Detroit.
With interest in Kenny Golladay, Cincinnati has the chance to upgrade their receiving corps, and then boasts the most dynamic threats from the AFC North on the edge. This is certainly not a complete deal, as the New York Giants and Golladay also have mutual interests.
What can make the difference between the Bengals and the Giants for Golladay?
Joe Burrow kon.
The star full-back looks ready to take the field after a nasty ACL tear to end his rookie season.
After a historic start to the season, much is expected of Burrow in year 2, and the former LSU star apparently did his part to lure Golladay to Queen City.
“Joe Burrow made a pitch for him,” Nan Network’s Ian Rapoport said on Good Morning Football on Thursday, adding that Golladay ” a very strong offer from the Cincinnati Bengals ”
The Bengals need Golladay, who in his only Pro Bowl campaign in 2019 finished 7th in the league in his reception yard. Golladay has only played five games and has struggled to get going and has seen his Lions fall to the bottom of the NFC North.
Without Matthew Stafford, Golladay is not back in Motor City.
The Queen City may be mentioning his name, and if what Burrow said could convince the star, the Bengals could turn from the worst team in the AFC North to a potential top-two team.
The Bengals have the leeway to finalize an agreement.
The value of Golladay would be difficult, but no one would be upset if he got between $ 12 and $ 16 million. With a few more upgrades on the list, the Bengals could be one of the surprise teams of 2021.
Whatever happens, it sounds like we will not wait much longer for a decision, as Golladay is visiting the Giants today.
I’m told the # Giants currently expects to visit WR Kenny Golladay this afternoon and to present him tonight, per source.
