I just hope and pray this doesn't encourage him to opt out under the exception rule.  Tee Higgins will be a great Bengal, but no one offers what Ross does outside.  Can he stay healthy?  Will he improve his routes, hands, etc?  Legitimate questions.  But I see a guy that if he puts it together this year will help this team go from afterthought to playoff team (so long as Green is out there too).

Just my two cents.  

I will never get why some root for a player's demise
