Is Joe Burrow the general manager about to make a big move for the Cincinnati Bengals?

Speaking with the media Tuesday, Burrow revealed that he and star safety Jessie Bates will go on a trip to Las Vegas during the six-week break before camp starts.

Normally that wouldn’t be worth pointing out, but Bates remains locked in the standoff with the Bengals over his contract extension while currently slated to play on the franchise tag.

For his part, Burrow says he’d like to see the Bengals get something done with Bates.

“You can put a price tag on what he does on the field,” Burrow said. “But I don’t think you can on what he does in the locker room. He’s been a guy that has kind of built what we’re doing here.”

No word on the exact timing of the trip or who else might join them. But the Bengals and Bates have until the July 15 deadline to come up with an extension or he’ll play the season on the tag (season holdouts are extremely rare).
