Last year, Burrow made some public comments that sparked questions regarding his long-term NFL future. But during a recent interview with Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, he officially put those retirement rumors to rest.
“I used to think I didn’t want to play very long, and now I’m like, 'I’m just going to go until I can’t do it anymore. This is fun to do. What the hell else would I do?' I used to want to go and maybe play a different sport after a couple of Super Bowls, but now I’m like, I’m just going to play until I can’t," Burrow replied.
Burrow led the NFL in passing yards and passing touchdowns through the 2024 season. But after suffering a Grade 3 turf toe injury early in 2025, he missed about half of the season. Through his eight starts last year, he completed 66.8% of his pass attempts for 1,809 yards, 17 touchdowns and five interceptions.
The Bengals will open up their 2026 season with a Week 1 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 13.
