For the first time in the Joe Burrow era, the Bengals don't have a clear answer at backup QB as we chug along towards the offseason.
For the first three years of his career (2020-22), the Bengals had Brandon Allen, who only really saw action in Burrow's rookie year after he suffered a torn ACL. 2023, of course, was the Jake Browning year, where the undrafted QB out of Washington came in and played solidly after Burrow missed the latter half of the season with a wrist injury, starting seven games and throwing for 1,936 yards, 12 touchdowns, and seven interceptions.
