With plenty of concern surrounding the future of the quarterback position on the Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> roster, the legendary James Harrison took it upon himself to make an interesting sales pitch to an AFC North rival \u2014 Cincinnati Bengals<\/a> star quarterback Joe Burrow.<\/p>\n On a recent episode of the Deebo & Joe podcast<\/a>, Harrison pleaded with Burrow to join Pittsburgh as a way of making it up to the Steelers<\/a> for helping Cleveland Browns<\/a> DE Myles Garrett break T.J. Watt\u2019s sack record<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cI know you ain\u2019t happy what\u2019s going on over there,\u201d Harrison said. \u201c\u2026We missing a piece. You could be that piece. Joe, listen, you got to look out for yourself. You got to take care of yourself. I care about you, Joe, because I did do a year in Cincinnati and I know what you doing over there, what you\u2019re facing over there. I know what you\u2019re going through. \u2026Joe said he wanted to be fun again. You want to have fun? Hey, we over here having fun, Joe.\u201d<\/p>\n Trade rumors surrounding Burrow\u2019s future skyrocketed after the Bengals quarterback claimed if he wanted to keep playing, he\u2019d need to \u201chave fun doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n Even if the Bengals truly decided to trade Burrow, which still seems unlikely at this point, there\u2019s almost zero shot he\u2019d ever be traded within the division, let alone to Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n Need a news break?
