Good movie.

I'm sure Tee appreciated that

Well, we never heard anything from Higgins about taking less to make sure the team would be able to resign Chase, did we?
Beyond that, Tee is a WR2 that wants top end WR1 money. He isn't getting that, here.

I'm not trying to say don't sign him. Absolutely get him under contract but I absolutely believe the front office is thinking the same thing I'm saying.
5 over 3 years.
10%.
I'd say that's about normal, NFL-wide, for the HISTORY of the game.

Spotrac Article about the 2024 Franchise Tag and some candidates.
https://www.spotrac.com/news/projected-2024-franchise-tag-candidates-2110/
Quote:TEE HIGGINS (WR, BENGALS
PROJECTED TAG: $20.7M
CURRENT MARKET VALUE: $16.5M
Higgins has been locked into the WR2 role for 4-straight seasons in Cincy, and has likely been offered contracts reflecting that. A franchise tag offer would represent an overpay based on this approach, making it extremely likely that the near 25-year-old hits the open market this March. Will another franchise value him at a WR1 ($22M-$25M per year) level?
Ill throw this one out there too...
Quote:CHRISTIAN WILKINS (DT, DOLPHINS)
PROJECTED TAG: $20.9M
CURRENT MARKET VALUE: $20.2M
Despite a career year in 2023, Wilkins doesn’t quite have the total resume to mathematically calculate toward the $22M-$24M deals that Quinnen Williams, Daron Payne, or Jeffery Simmons have locked in. But he’s certainly in that conversation. Miami enters the 2024 offseason $41M of salary cap in the red, so a $21M franchise tag hit out of the gate isn’t ideal. This could be a situation to monitor in the coming weeks.

Love Ja'Marr Chase and want him to be in stripes for a very long time. Pay the man his money, he is our #1 and seriously could be
the best WR in the NFL soon. Love his brother JJ who is also great and is currently the best, but Ja'Marr clearly has the best QB and
they are still only scratching the surface together. The more we target Chase it seems the more we win. He is that important to our
success and he can beat any Corner in the NFL when he is being targeted consistently and being used correctly.

Really hope the guaranteed money that Chase want's isn't the barrier to getting him signed. Lord knows the Bengals are stingy with their guaranteed money.
It is 2024, in the NFL it will ALWAYS be about the guaranteed money. I don't think I'm going out on a limb to say that is the biggest barrier to a Tee Higgins extension is. It would be nice if the Browns could get away with their non -guaranteed traditions but that isn't going to fly for these big star-level players. They realized it with Burrow. We will have to see if they realize it for their other star players

I think the FO must of said to Tee that guaranteed money is going to Chase and Tee wanted the guaranteed money as well. Only so much to
go around. Was a good move in not paying Tee in my opinion as we just saw another year of him being injured a lot of the time. Chase does
get injured as all WR's do but not near as much as Tee, just a fact.
Plus Chase has played through a hip injury and still dominated in that game which is just crazy.

Tagging and trading Tee for Christian Wilkins would be a great move for us.
I am liking stealing Madubuike away from the Ravens in FA just as much though, better younger pass rusher this year.

She is the absolute WORST. She doesn’t even attempt to hide her disdain for the Bengals. I had to finally unfollow her earlier this season.

She is an unabashed Ravens fan who has been bitter that she had to leave Baltimore because no one there wanted her. She has blocked at least 100 hundred Bengals fans on Twitter.
RE: Chase talks about his contract... - Doin the Shuffle - 01-06-2024
So it'd be 100,000,000 guaranteed, maybe?
About 3 seasons top dollar worth guaranteed?
Are those the figures?
That seems fair.

I wouldn't have made Burrow the highest-paid QB over Mahomes either.
But as you said, it happened.
You are right that Chase has more TDs, but I view TDs as kind of circumstantial.
Outside of Chase's 13 his rookie year, he's been right about the same as Jefferson gets every year, which is ~7-10.
But yes, I can see that playing somewhat of a factor, but I don't personally put that at a higher weight over the yardage gap between the two.
Not only did burrow get paid more than Mahomes, so did Hurts and Herbert. It wasn’t because any of them are better, it’s because they signed deals years after Mahomes signed his. It’s like paying more for a house now than it cost 3 years ago

Most likely and Burrow is going to sign an unheard-of team-friendly deal.
