In Bengals news, what are Joe Burrow's odds to win MVP? Also, could Akiem Hicks make sense as a free-agent target for the Cincinnati Bengals?
Burrow has been an MVP candidate over the past two years but slow starts have prevented him truly being in the race. Last year, most people knew that either Patrick Mahomes or Jalen Hurts would win the award and once Hurts was injured, it was Mahomes' award to lose.
Burrow will be a popular pick to win the award this year due to the Bengals being a Super Bowl contender. Where does he sit in the MVP odds race?
In other news, could Akiem Hicks make sense with the Bengals? The former third-round pick started 11 games for the Buccaneers last year and is still waiting to sign with a team.

Best 2023 Free-Agent Option Remaining for Every NFL Team [Alex Ballentine, Bleacher Report]
Ballentine has Hicks as the Bengals' free-agent target but I'm not sure he'd make sense in the Queen City. The Bengals had to cut guys like Jeff Gunter and Raymond Johnson III because their defensive line depth was impressive. Hicks would just mean another key defensive linemen would have to be cut from the roster.
