AJ Brown didn't do much with the Titans. He didn't really start to ball out until he went to Philly.

This is a pretty similar situation.
The Titans drafted a WR (with the aquired pick) that hasn't really panned out.

This has been stated many times already. It's not a pretty similar situation at all....

AJ Brown was still under contract for 1yr/$1m
Tee Higgins is on a franchise tag for 1yr/$22m

If you give both guys 4yr/$100m extensions, AJ Brown is now under control for 5yr/$101m ($20.2m/yr) while Higgins would be under control for 5yr/$122m ($24.4m). That is a HUGE difference in value for a WR that has 1 year of $1m team control left.

The Titans drafted the rookie to be their #1 receiving target. The Bengals would draft a WR to be their #2 WR behind Ja'Marr Chase. One team had nobody else, the other team has a top-10 WR who will carry the majority of the load.
