CINCINNATI — Bengals legend Andrew Whitworth wants the team to be more aggressive in their quest to build a championship contender around Joe Burrow.

The former All-Pro is hoping the Bengals take a "big swing" in the near future.

"I just want to see the big swing. Here's your opportunity," Whitworth said on the This is Football podcast." You're not gonna get quarterbacks like Joe Burrow. There's a bunch of teams in the NFL that are dying for that to get right once, but you have it. Like where's the swing? Where's the leverage? Like let's go for it. Right here in this window, let's go for it. I think to me, that's the thing that gets frustrating as a Cincinnati Bengals fan. Where's the swing for the fences? Let's tee it up and let's take a rip at it."

Whitworth also admitted that he felt the same way during the 2011 through 2015 seasons when the Bengals made the playoffs five-straight times and won the division twice.

Whether it's a trade or a major free agent signing, Whitworth wants to see the Bengals make a significant addition to the roster this offseason.

I asked @AndrewWhitworth if, with Joe Burrow in his prime and crushing, he wishes the Bengals operated differently with their roster/contracts/talent.

He does

"Let me see that move where you go 'wow they really swung for it.'"
