Count Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow among those happy that the team went out and traded for running back Khalil Herbert at the NFL trade deadline.
Speaking with reporters before the Week 10 Thursday night game against the Baltimore Ravens, Burrow dropped the following one-liner: “I’m glad we went out and tried to get better.”
This comment comes on the heels of Burrow dropping a similarly revealing quote about the NFL trade deadline before last weekend’s win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
While some Bengals fans won’t be happy that the Bengals sat the rest of the deadline out despite obvious needs at positions like edge rusher, Herbert will indeed help the offense right away after the season-ending injury to Zack Moss.
Now, the attention will turn to whether the Bengals front office did enough to actually help the team turn the season around and reach the playoffs.
