So how do we think they should approach the offseason?

[The D.O.Z.]

Higgins may WANT to come back but his agent is notoriously difficult to deal with. If I'm the Bengals FO, I am not paying top dollar for a guy who misses multiple games every year. No offense to Tee, he can't control getting concussed or his problematic hamstrings from acting up when we need him most. But I'm not paying top dollar for that. I'm not...hamstringing...my roster with that contract. Not with a Chase extension on the near horizon. Not with a decent FA class to choose from. Not with a decent WR draft coming up. Not when this offense needs to retool at several key spots like RT, and TE1.

I know we have a lot of cap space. It's not how much you spend. It's HOW you spend it.
