Could we make this work?

Rumor seems to be: Tee and 2 1st for Jefferson.

The Jefferson and Chase would need extensions over $30 million each.

Could this work?

Tee and 2 first round picks.  OK, Tee wants out of here now. He wants traded. Which mean his agent will tell him to never play for Bengals and risk injury now, if he wants Big Money Long Term on another team. We will never see Higgins play for Bengals again,, because he wants out of Cincinnati right now. 

So Higgins is no issue, but 2 first round picks are.  I think it's a lot, even for Jefferson. 

Then you mention 30 million each, plus what Burrow just got paid.  I guess we can say good-bye to a good Defense or hopes of having good Blockers if all the money is going to go to Burrow, Chase, Jefferson.  It would be great in Fantasy Football, but not so great if you want a Super Bowl Defense and a Super Bowl O Line in real football.

I look to Cleveland trading all these first round picks for Watson, and I say let's not.
