On this week’s episode of The PFN Bengals Podcast, Jay Morrison and Dallas Robinson discuss what happened with Burrow before turning their attention to Ja’Marr Chase’s contract and a review of Jay’s top 10 Bengals lists.

Why wasn’t Burrow participating on Tuesday? Jay and Dallas get into the explanation offered by Taylor and whether or not the Bengals should still be concerned about Burrow’s recovery from last year’s season-ending wrist injury.

Plus, is offensive tackle Trent Brown hurting himself by skipping OTAs? What does defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins’ decision to show up mean?

Then, Jay and Dallas discuss Justin Jefferson’s mammoth extension with the Minnesota Vikings and how it will affect Chase’s negotiations with Cincinnati. Will Chase sign before the 2024 season? Can he surprise Jefferson, or did the Vikings star place a cap on the WR market?

Finally, Jay defends his lists of the top all-time Bengals quarterbacks and wide receivers before working through the difficulty of ranking the greatest head coaches in team history.
