Not sure about this. I’m one of the (Keep Tee at all cost) but here is the link below.

No way! They have us trading Higgins and 3 picks for #2.
We need as many picks as possible to replace upcoming free agents.
And if we traded for a Top 5 pick...we better draft an offensive lineman.

The draft capital alone would make this trade too steep imo. Now throw in Tee? No thanks. Much too pricey for a #2 pick to draft on a rookie EDGE rusher. Even one with Anderson's pedigree.

This has been an already discussed mock draft.
In this Scenario for the Bengals to move up from the bottom of the first round to #2 overall with Tee, one 2nd round pick, and a future 3rd round pick means Tee Higgins is the equivalent of a top 10 overall draft pick.

I would do it but I would trade the #1 pick for more picks or another veteran player like Pitts from Atlanta.

Trading Tee and GETTING picks makes sense.
Trading tee and GIVING picks makes no sense.
The Bengals need more cheap controllable talent with an extension for Burrow and next year Chase looming, not less. Using a 1st, 2nd, AND 3rd round pick on a player doesn't make sense. I don't like anyone in this draft nearly that much and that's even before you also add in trading away Tee. You're turning 4 players into 1.

No.... only trade I'd consider is a 1st round pick coming towards the Bengals.
We shouldn't be in the business of giving up picks considering our cap situation.

Yep, no sense in giving tee AND picks up (aside from late round). Nobody in this draft is worth that.

Nope but might do
Tee and our 4th round pick for Chicago's 1st and 6th round picks

LOL HEEEEELLLLLL no. Maybe if they gave us their 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks. But them 3 of our picks AND Higgins for one pick? Get the **** out of here.

Boy we got fleeced here
Edit: the last time a player as young and talented was traded was who? And what did they get in return?

I agree with a Draft Room several of our rivals have ones as an example below. Just make it a sticky thread in Jungle Noise.

No. In fact if I'm running armchair GM exercises I start planning for a world where Ja'marr Chase may be priced into the stratosphere and I have to keep Tee as the #1.

I would trade Tee and switch first and second round pick positions and give up a third. But I doubt the Bears would.
Romo “ so impressed with Zac ...1 of the best in the NFL… they are just fundamentally sound. Taylor the best winning % in the Playoffs of current coaches. Joe Burrow” Zac is the best head coach in the NFL & that gives me a lot of confidence." Taylor led the Bengals to their first playoff win since 1990, ending the longest active drought in the four major North American sports, en and appeared in Super Bowl LVI, the first since 1988.

I want Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins to play their entire careers in Cincinnati.

You mean like this one that already exists?

Discussion of Tee's contract and potential trade is a separate discussion from the draft even if a potential trade might include picks

It's interesting when you look at it this way. I'd never do the trade, bit based on value charts...the Bears probably lose in that trade.
