Where did I ever say that Tee is as fast as Jamar?  I know this.  I’ve never put tee in top 12.  In fact the only people who keep wanting to compare Higgins to Chase/jefferson is folks like you.  

We will pay Chase, that’s not a question,  the question is, has been and always will be, does trading tee Higgins help/hurt  the bengals in the short term and long term.

I was in the trade tee camp at the start of free agency.  I figured you might be able to backfill the production with a vet WR and/or the bengals could potentially go after a game Wrecker at another position to get positional strength.  With FA all but dried up, tee Higgins as a bengal, provides the best chance of the bengals getting back to the Super Bowl.   I also feel like if you trade tee Higgins, you are getting Pennie’s on the dollar.

Second part of the you're post is key; 

 It's slim pickens to get a veteran WR. Is anyone really comfortable with Marquez valdes-scantling or O'Dell Beckham has your 2nd WR? Maybe you could resign Boyd.

You could trade for Sutton from Denver or Hopkins from Tennessee but that would require giving up significant draft capital as well.
