I mean, the Raiders went all in on him, they should keep him.

(09-28-2023, 12:47 AM)Bengalbug Wrote: You do realize a catastrophic injury can happen any play for any player…. Right?

Also, not seeing 54m over two years… I’m seeing closer to 40m against the cap or 47 in cash.  (That’s for a full season, not prorated).

Anyway, this thread is silly because it isn’t happening.  But it would make the bengals a better team IMO.

23 & 24.

See the second post on this topic.

Interesting for sure. Adam’s has manageable cap hits this year and next 14.7m and 25m, before ballooning up to 44.

This would be hard to pull off midsession without having some regression, however later in the season to next year, the bar would certainly be raised.

If they are not going to re-sign tee, this makes sense, but it’s still almost exclusively for this year and next.

For the Bengals the cap hits will be his yearly salary so 6m(ish 3games in) in 2023 and 17m(ish) in 2024. It would essentially be a 2 year deal for rhe Bengals because they can cut him for no dead cap in 2025 when his cap hits balloon to 35m+ and he will be 33.


For the OP: It's not really a crazy trade but I don't think the Raiders would want 1 for 1 since it's Tee's last year and they will have to tag and pay him. Tee and a 6th might be a 5th conditional or soemthing.

(09-27-2023, 04:51 PM)Bengalbug Wrote: bro, it’s not close.  Davante is in the discussion for best in the game.

Since 2021 (just over two full seasons) davante Adam’s is 2nd in receiving yards (3,361), 3rd in catches (248) and 1st in TDs (28)

Higgins has 2,230/158/15

I like Higgins, a lot… but let’s not kid ourselves here into thinking he is in the same tier has D Adams.

(09-27-2023, 04:55 PM)Bengalbug Wrote: LARGE, LOL.

I don’t want to diss any bengals, but it would be like saying AJ green was better than Megatron.

(09-27-2023, 09:09 PM)Nicomo Cosca Wrote: Just chiming in on Tee even being in the same category as Adams. He’s not.

I don’t think we need Adams though. I just want to see them use Chase like other teams use their elite guys (Monday was a good start). He should never have less than double digit targets, imo.

(09-28-2023, 05:56 PM)Nate (formerly eliminate08) Wrote: Cool, Davante Adams is arguably the 2nd best WR in the NFL behind Justin Jefferson right now.

I would say that is much better than Tee Higgins who might be top 10 on his best day so far.


Truth, thanks for the numbers to back my opinion up Bengalbug lol


Yep.


Completely agree with everything you say here as usual Nicomo, nice post.

Guy is second to only Jefferson in WR talent in the league. He's being held back by a bad team, with a bad line and losing his QB.

His numbers last year with Carr would best anyone we have.

(09-28-2023, 10:49 PM)Bengalbug Wrote: No worries. Tee would have a really tough time even being top 10.

This year better for sure:

Jefferson
Chase
Adam’s
Kupp
Aj brown
St brown
Keenan Allen
Diggs

Long term arguable better:
Lamb
Waddle
Olave

Higgins is top 12-20 for 2023, and top 12 LONG term.

Adam’s is top five for 2023, and he will start to regress soon.  However, if we are not set on re-signing Higgins after this year, Adam’s for this year and next would 1,000,000% be better than Higgins for 2023 and then walk.  In fact, like I’ve said, the bengals would actuallly be better.

All of this said, I’d prefer a long term with Tee, but it is seemingly not going in that direction.  

Just my opinion, with a lot of facts to back it up.

(09-29-2023, 07:35 AM)Nicomo Cosca Wrote: Ofc he’s currently better. He’s 30 years old and a seasoned veteran right at the end of his prime. Our best WR is only 23 and hasn’t even entered his yet.

I’d also personally put Tyreek ahead of Adams right now. Him and JJ are probably WR1 & 2 atm.

RESPECTFULLY Adams is a better player than Tee Higgins. Why would LAV do that trade?
