Cincinnati has invested a first- or second-round pick in the position of wide receiver in three of the past five years. Yet they continue without it AJ Green and John Ross, so Chase would be a welcome addition to the offense. Meanwhile, Burrow has reportedly been stumped for a reunion with Chase, who left the last time they played together in 2019 for 84 catches, 1,780 yards and 20 touchdowns.
The Bengals think they have a lot of options available at No. 5 – especially if the Falcons line up a quarterback at No. 4. In the worst case scenario, only one of this year’s best non-QBs will be up for grabs. At best, Chase tackles Oregon Penei Sewell, and Florida tight end Kyle Pitts will all be available. From the last rumble, it sounds like Chase would be their choice.
