Tee Higgins discussion...

[Mandizi]

Keep him, but I wouldn't be surprised if we let him go cause our ownership is cheap.

I typically don’t put too much in cats who have a great contract year but Tee is a rare exception. Really good college career, had a good rookie year pre-Chase and he’s been a 1a to Chase’s 1 in Cincy.

If the Bengals can’t get it figured out, someone will give him the bagg and they won’t regret it

Tee balls out whether Chase is on the field or not. He’s a number 1 talent but he seems to always have some type of injury issues.

 

[Supa]

He fired his agent who is the biggest money getter for his players. This tells me the agent wasn't getting the bag from the front office so he was committed to getting Tee out of there. Tee wants to stay for less money so he canned him.

I think he should take a Smitty level deal from Washington.

 

[Formerly known as...]

Ya no. Bengals can’t afford to give him what he probably will want. Too many holes in the team, and they haven’t even paid Chase yet. I personally don’t believe he’s a true number 1 but he’ll get to prove that on another team.

They still haven't paid chase yet?!

 

[VegetasHairline]

It needs to be mentioned that Higgins has put up WR1 type numbers without Higgins next to him granted that was back in 2022, but still deserves mentioning.

My more controversial opinion is that they should pay Higgins instead of Chase and use those picks elsewhere based on money and resource allocation.

He is getting the ultimate brinks truck. Love to see it. They gambled and kicked the can down the road and Chase had a top tier season.

Chase about to get the WR triple crown

It will be tough for the Bengals to keep both of them unless Tee or Chase takes less than market value.

Tee Higgins can be a #1 WR on a team, but he's not on that Chase/Hill/Jefferson level. I'd obviously like him in New England, although his injuries can be worrisome.

Fck no, if he leaves Cincy $30M + annually

Smitty gave us a "hometown" discount

 

[Trav]

We'll take him and find out (which doesn't really need finding our cuz he can be a #1 elsewhere).

That's the 30 club. Tee isn't in that group based on production. The man has a grand total of 2 1,000 yard seasons and has missed significant time the last two seasons. His numbers are virtually identical to Smitty's so the 25 range is fair.

I'm not paying #1 money to a guy who's been a #2. WR salaries need to calm down.

He wants 30 I'd rather draft a WR or sign someone like Godwin for much less on a short contract. Use that extra money on defense and O-line.

he balled out when Chase was injured
he balled out when Burrow was injured

see him going to NE

They can’t keep him with a defense this bad

He's a #1, injury concerns aside.

However, he cannot be the only one. Wherever he ends up, the second WR needs to be worth a damn.
