I highly doubt they trade him. Have the Bengals ever done a move like that? Trading a player in his prime to get 1st round picks so they don’t have to pay them? Palmer was a completely different story- he threatened to retire. Tee won’t be doing that.
That said, the nfl is an offense league. You resign Chase and Higgins. That means the likes of Boyd, Mixon, Bates, Pratt, Wilson go.
To make my counter argument, if we let Higgins go and gave that $25M/year to say Pratt, Wilson, 1 more player - it’s arguably easier to replace 1 player in the draft as opposed to needing to hit on 3 players.
That being said, I’d still sign Higgins. (Chase and Burrow are an obvious yes. The team starts there).
