Apples and oranges there Jason. Joe Burrow is a franchise QB that gives us a chance at Super Bowl wins for his entire career.
Tee Higgins is a very good #2 WR on a team with a true #1 WR in Ja'Marr Chase that we need to pay.
Before last season I thought we had a chance to extend Tee and his and Ja'Marr's contracts would balance each other out as we would
be paying Tee at different times than Ja'Marr. Since we couldn't get a deal done and then Tee had his worst season in the NFL while being
banged up with different injuries and most notably hamstring pulls that tend to reocurr it changed my mind big time.
You don't extend him now while we are extending Ja'Marr, we cannot afford both of them now. If it was going to happen it should of
happened before last season. Now if Tee's number went down because of his poor season it would be different but it doesn't seem like it
from all we are hearing and he still wants to be paid #1 money when he simply isn't one yet. Let someone else take that gamble.
