And taking about the cap going up- everyone always says oh we can afford so and so plus so and so because the cap is going up. The cap going up doesn’t meant we can sign more players. It means players just get more money.

But I agree Higgins will be in the 22-25M range. Chase will be 30M by the time he signs, and Burrow will be $50M.


The window is now! Because our D will suck once we sign these guys. Which we will. Maybe that’s why we drafted all these defensive players to get young cheap talent….hmmmmm??

Almost certainly more if they both continue to play at 2021 levels (or better).

Chase can't get an extension until before the 2024 season at the earliest. Justin Jefferson is going to absolutely obliterate the top tier WR market heading into 2023, so Chase will likely again be higher than that. Keep in mind that Tyreek Hill just got $30m/yr at age 28 and Davante Adams got $28m/yr at age 30.

As for Burrow, Rodgers just got $50.6m/yr and Watson just got $46m/yr. Mahomes got $45m/yr in 2020. Burrow, Herbert, and Murray are about to be the next wave of market setting contracts, with potentially Lamar Jackson added to that group if he stops constantly catching COVID and pooping himself.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if Chase and Burrow don't combine for $90-100m/yr on average for their deals. That's why I agree with you the Bengals have about a 2 year window now where they need to just go for it because there'll be some changes to how the roster can be constructed after that.
