No way anyone gives the Vikings multiple 1sts for JJ
They are going to have to pay JJ's 5th year, and then franchise him 2x. He has no interest in playing there & it makes no sense for them to load up on a WR for some weird amount of money. They have no QB & no chance of winning any time soon. They are so far away from contention it's kind of sad.
The Bengals should realistically offer....
Viking get: Tee + 2024 picks #49 & #97
Bengals get: JJ
^ What makes any of this impossible is that Higgins prob wants some goofy amount of $ & it makes no sense for the Vikes to pay him, either.
Vikings literally need an entirely new offense. They have no QB, O-Line, RB, or any WR other than WR 1 & a TE who will never be the same because he's ccoming off major injury. Hell, he'll prob will miss half the year at BEST and still be hobbled coming back.
Jefferson will be 29 by the time they can get their roster rebuilt. It makes zero sense to hold him.
- So, Vikings would say NO to Higgins. Only way Bengals can afford to give up that kind of draft capital is if they trade Higgins to someone else for picks who are picking higher in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th rounds.... Commanders, Panthers, Falcons, Pats, etc.
^ They could then possibly recoup & salvage much needed 2nd day picks for the 2024 draft - which happens to hit the Bengals in positions they actually need PERFECTLY.
