In the upcoming months, the Cincinnati Bengals will likely need a new tackle, and upcoming free agent Jermaine Eluemunor seems eager to join the team. Cincinnati’s 2023 campaign will never be forgotten as standout quarterback Joe Burrow found it difficult to stay on the field. The former first-overall pick had a difficult start to the
season after injuring himself during practice following the signing of his enormous contract extension. Even though he eventually found his footing again, the season was cut short by another injury he sustained halfway through.
Some fans and observers throughout the league are beginning to forget exactly how good Burrow is when healthy, in part because of this lackluster performance. Those individuals are not Jermaine Eluemunor, as the right tackle recently defended the Bengals franchise quarterback on X (previously Twitter).
Please don’t take this the wrong way, everyone. I constantly seeing burrow slander on my TL for some reason. Even if Mahomes and Burrow are the two finest quarterbacks in the NFL, people still despise them. Additionally, he totally saved that franchise, but I suppose that when you’re kind, people tend to forget.
Joe Burrow is obviously highly respected by Jermaine Eluemunor, and the Bengals will likely require an offensive lineman. Jonah Williams is expected to leave Cincinnati in free agency, therefore the organization needs someone who can hold Burrow accountable so he can lead Cincinnati back to a deep postseason run.
Eluemunor might be the best candidate for the position. Over the past few seasons, the former fifth-round pick has established himself as a competent starter after bouncing around early in his career. Jermaine Eluemunor isn’t an All-Pro player, but he can certainly allow Burrow enough time to connect with the Bengals offense’s potent weapons.
Naturally, the money must be correct. Cincinnati still has to pay Tee Higgins and set aside a substantial amount of money for Ja’Marr Chase, even though they have $61.4 million in cap space. In a league there are not enough starting-caliber tackles to go around, there is a risk that another club outbids the Bengals for Jermaine Eluemunor.
