As long as there isn’t a no-trade clause there is no reason not to sign him and keep them all together for as long as possible. When we get to a serious numbers crunch we can easily trade a guy like Tee at a contract like that for a 1st rounder plus. Any team would do that trade in a heartbeat.

The real question is, why would people rather give up Tee now or next season because we may have problems 3-4 years from now, when we could keep him 3-4 more years and then move on AND get a high pick for him at that time?

It may not be that people are giving up on having Tee now or next season.

It may be that some people are questioning whether or not the Bengals will actually go the route of signing and keeping all three. (Burrow/Higgins/Chase)

I Love having all three players but I kick around the Pros and Cons of paying all three players what they will command in the Marketplace.

I do lean towards keeping them together as long as we can but the Chiefs just went the trade away Tyreek Hill route after signing Mahommes long term. The Chiefs are a well run Organization and this could be a signal that keeping all three (Burrow/Higgins/Chase) may not be a slam dunk.

There may be some hard realities and trade offs to keeping all three that may prevent it from happening longer term.

Of course the Bengals Front Office will keep alive the idea of keeping all three to keep these players in a positive state of mind.

Will the Bengals pass on trading one of them away at some point and actually keep them together longer term is still an open question in some peoples' minds until the Bengals commit to doing it. 

I agree that this is not a right now decision.
