Bengals Waive Jermaine Burton

[vtnatefootball11]

Worth a claim? Obvious character concerns but Beane/McD better be well past being above that given our dire WR position. If the locker room is as strong as they say it is, they can absorb one bad boy. He would sadly be the most talented WR on our roster.

Go for it. We're hurting. We got nothing to lose.

[PromoTheRobot]

Better make sure he'll agree to play here first.

[Chaos]

Really, this stats would make him best on our roster:

 

Burton, a third-round pick of the Bengals in the 2024 NFL draft who attended Georgia and Alabama, didn't play in a regular-season game during the 2025 season.

Burton played in 14 games as a rookie, recording four catches for 107 receiving yards

If no one wants him, add him to the ps and see what the deal is.  Then most likely cut him because I’m he’s an idiot.  Can’t hurt to roll the dice, but the chances of something good coming from it is minimal.

The character red flags from college appear to be carrying over....

[dorquemada]

loved him at bama.  take a flyer on him.

[GASabresIUFan]

He was a pain in the behind at GA, Bama and now the pros.  Talk about Red Flags.

Cleveland it is!!!

[KentuckyBillsFan]

Absolutely not

[Generic_Bills_Fan]

A big chunk of what the bills do requires receivers buying in to run blocking and I don’t think a guy like this would do that 

[Cray51]

No.  No way.  He has been an abysmal pro, we do not need that added to our team.

[Bleeding Bills Blue]

I think someone claims him just to kick the tires the rest of the year tbh.  But i don't know that it is a playoff team.  Maybe someone like Tennessee or the Jets who are in full e v a l mode.  

[WotAGuy]

Why mess up the chemistry of the best WR room in the league?

[SoonerBillsFan]

Nope.  Production hasnt been there to offset character issues

[DrDawkinstein]

Worse than Coleman's issues. He was given a chance to take a big role last year with injuries and the first practice where he was to be #1 WR he NO SHOWED and posted on social media from a casino. Huge head case, worse than George Pickens. BIG NO.

[NeverOutNick]

Dude is a head case but man is his tape awesome in college. He would’ve been a 1st/2nd rounder if he focused solely on football. We won’t do it but I’d be all about it if he wanted a practice squad spot. Guy can fly and made some spectacular catches

[Aussie Joe]

I remember looking at him in the 2024 pre draft .., thought he could have been a Day 3 option … didn’t last that long …: probably should have …

 

appears to have done nothing since so happy to pass ..

They're the best to date for about 2 months.  Not to have in your locker room.
