And some other guys that aren't as important.
Just WOW! It's the core of our team.
1.) Burrow
2.) Williams
3.)Wilson or ADG
4.) Boyd
5.) Reader
Auwzie and Hendrickson will both be older at that point and more expensive. I could see Trey getting a 100 Million dollar deal done at that point as well with another team.
Mixon will be an elder statesmen at that point; so I don't see the Bengals resigning him at that point.
Higgins will eventually be traded and it will probably happen next offseason.
1.) He is not the #1 player at his position on this team.
2.) His trade Value will be insane. We're looking at a first and third in return for him.
It would definitely suck to lose him but at the same time the FO can't pay everyone.

1.) How much does Burrow sign for?
2.) Are the Bengals going to continue being proactive in trading and free agency?
3.) How well do the Bengals draft in coming years and well will the 2021 and 2022 drafts look like in 2024?

Pay the QB, the top pass catcher, and then either the RB or the next best pass catcher.
Invest the rest in OL and key defensive players.
Use draft picks and/or cheaper veterans to fill out the remainder of the offensive weapons.
If we aren't seeing the Bengals getting a deal done for Bates, do people really think they'd give a WR2 $18+ mill a year?
I don't.
Especially when they have the same exact Agent.
