He's only getting paid 10 Million dollars and is in the final year of his contract. I think Tee is on the Table for them still.

All true. If I was Tee Higgins I would take a slightly lower deal than DeVonta Smith took and be happy if the Bengals offer him such.

Was a good player for us, happy Mitch is still in the league. I think we Draft a TE anyways.

It may help us in getting a compensatory pick in 2024. He is not a big contract, but he is a loss.

If we are not going to sign Boyd, I hope someone else signs him prior to June 1.

I would like to see them take a 6th or 7th on Tip Reiman.   6'7 271 pound TE know for blocking.  Ran a 4.64.    Was a walk on that made Team Captain.  High character guy.
