Tee and a 2nd for JJ. Still have JaMarr cheap for two more years even if they extend him.

Yes, Could be a Tee long term contract.

A resigning of Tee and even DJ would be a let down if we don’t do anything else big. Would be great keeping those guys but we’d still be a last place team in this division. We have to do something drastic on the o line to keep Joe healthy. Another season ending injury would be it

Most of this board thinks we can't afford to keep both Tee and Chase, but somehow we can afford JJ and Chase????

It will be about his baby mama who has been coming after him year after year.

lol, Chase and Jefferson are going to take discounts. It’s like a discount doublecheck 2 for 1 situation.

Eifert is joining in saying he has sources of Justin Jefferson to Cincy.

This seems like crazy talk.  I don't see how they could make it work money-wise.
That said, it would certainly be entertaining.

I also saw someone post on X that DJ Reader is going to San Fran. The source is not legitimate though.

and why would Minnesota trade Jefferson to get Tee Higgins in return.  Does that sound like a good deal for Minnesota?  If you had Jefferson on your team would you trade him for Tee Higgins?  I dont see it happening.  This big news they cant wait to reveal is probably Higgins signing a long term contract.  That would be my guess.

Obviously, it's a pipe dream. A man can dream, right lol? 
Ja'Marr and his posts just add fuel to the fantasy fire. 
It's fun to imagine a LSU reunion though, with a storybook ending in NO. 

[*Nate (formerly eliminate08)*]

Yeah, cannot have the 2 highest paid Receivers ever on the same team. Not happening unless they both took major discounts
and waited a year or two on Ja'Marr and that isn't happening either. If it is a long term contract they are talking about I bet it
is Ja'Marr's contract with us, not Tee's.

That's not a bad guess either.  Could be Ja'Marr's contract

edit: The only thing about a contract extension for Ja'Marr is the Bengals have a bunch of other needs right now and if they gave Ja'Marr an extension right now, they probably couldnt address the other holes on the roster.

Did hear rumblings about JJ not being happy in Minny. But that I guess doesn't matter, if they make him the highest paid WR ever
I think that would cure any rumblings lol

Maybe we bring in Terrace Marshall eh?

I think that is about as close of a LSU reunion as we could get along with Drafting Brian Thomas Jr at 18.

To get something in return before he walks. They pay less for Tee and we send them Browning in the deal since they need a QB, plus picks.  (some of y'all would ruin a wet dream)

It's that time of year. We're bored and having fun imagining the possibilities! Lighten up everyone.

BTJ is someone I would love to see as a Higgins replacement, provided the Bengals either can get a solid RT in FA or in the 2nd round.
My worry with waiting to get a RT in the draft but not in the 1st round is I don't see many plug and play guys outside of Rd 1.
Suamataia from BYU probably the last guy on the prospect rankings I would consider as someone who could start Day 1 and be serviceable or better.


I feel better about the Day 2 WRs than I do about the Day 2 RTs in this draft class.

Some may not but I'd be happy with Pearsall in round 2.

Source: The #49ers are adding a defensive tackle, agreeing to terms with #Browns DT Jordan Elliott on a 2-year, $10M deal done by agent
@Malkikawa and Ethan Lock of @FirstRoundMgmt.

DJ Reader still in play for us. I know the Lions are still interested and a couple other teams.
