The Cincinnati Bengals could explore roster upgrades before the NFL trade deadline hits, but quarterback Joe Burrow is satisfied with the team's current personnel.
Burrow talked about Cincinnati's approach to the upcoming deadline during his Wednesday, Oct. 28, press conference, surfacing his perspective on the possibility of moves.
"Number one, I feel really good about our team and the guys we have in there," Burrow said, via Charlie Clifford of NBC 5 Cincinnati. "Number two, I think every GM in football is probably exploring all options at this point, and very few ever end up materializing."

The comments land as Cincinnati looks to build on its 35-13 victory over the Baltimore Ravens, which improved the Bengals' record to 4-2.
The Bengals made hefty investments in their roster this offseason, notably acquiring defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence from the New York Giants in exchange for a first-round draft pick.
Lawrence has helped improve Cincinnati's defensive front, and Burrow disclosed Wednesday that the circumstances around his acquisition presented a big chance for the organization.
With the NFL trade deadline set for Nov. 10, Cincinnati has some time to check out potential upgrades before determining whether to make another move.
Currently, however, Burrow's focus is on the players in the building before his squad battles the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, Nov. 1.
