You have to be a bot?

I would point all those teams QBs run as part of they're offense. Mahommes may not run quite as much but get him in the playoffs and he runs alot. The amount of money the Bengals appear to have seems that they should be able to sign they're guys and get 1 or 2 guys in FA. Then yes you have to draft well but you have to do that if you let Tee walk. Nothing is guaranteed but why add another ? to the one unit on your team that is good enough to win it all.

you know whats guaranteed? Tee leaving 3 games early and missing 5 outright

Game on the line, season on the line.

Orlando was out there playing 100% of the offensive snaps on a broken leg.
Tee was on the sideline with his third different injury of the year.

x2 on OBJ. Beast! Talk about GRIT! Ditto Mims, a rookie with a broken hand and Ford with a few injuries. That’s some football toughness and team-playing mentality. Mad respect.

Love Tee but man is he fragile and injury prone.

well maybe he will signing a friendly deal.. but i doubt it, we will overpay him because Joe wants him and watch Tre walk in a year or so and defense will probably get worse not better.

It was the symbol of season on the line. We need Denver to lose at home to backups so not great odds. But we haven't committed to Tee either. Not saying he wasn't playing because of that but he needs to think of his future. People act like that should have no effect on a player but we were the only team that didn't sign they're franchise tag guy.

why are all you people that supposedly know football placing tee Higgins in God like status and the team is doomed if he is not signed...Heres what I saw..for the third time this year..Higgins had to exit the game with an injury..same player that has missed five games with chronic tendionapthy.. tee Higgins sitting on the bench not playing is not a symbol of anything

[QueenCity]

I'm back to wanting to either tag and trade or let him go.... the injury history is too hard to ignore.

Reminds me of Mike Williams who's had more serious injuries but his career is now practically over.

I'm not putting him in God like status or suggesting that he's not replaceable. If we had a defense that we didn't need to add a solid player at almost every position group I would still be in the let him walk group. But we can't afford to devote a high draft pick to the WR position. We've been letting players walk because we deem them replaceable and then can't fail to find a replacement. If we had signed Bates who knows where we are with a failed 1st rd pick and two free agents failing to cover what he did. You need to pay your good players when you draft them and keep y hem in the building. Maybe two WR isn't every teams top priorities but not every team has Burrow wanting to run 5 wr routes alot of the time.

Our offense as assberries when he was out.

Showing Tee the door adds another need to a team that already has a bunch of them.

I know it's a what have you done for me lately league but I do think we are focusing too much on this year and some of last year. But Tee did better his 1st few years. Again if we were in different team circumstances I would be for letting him go. But I don't think we can afford to let him go. He still had close to his avg for yds and well surpassed the TDs. That production will not be easily replaced.

This is pretty much where I'm at  on Tee. We need OL and just about anything on defense. Every year we are in the comfortable cap space group. Time to push the boundaries if that means signing our guys and being selectively active in free agency than that does not seem unreasonable for where our team is at in our championship window.

I said the same thing yesterday. Tee MIA in the second half, meanwhile Cody Ford is playing on a bum ankle, wounded chest.... Actually gained a lot of respect for Ford last night.

I'm a Bengal player homer. So I'm clearly biased on our own key players. But they are people who are in polar opposite positions. Ford has been primarily a backup here for 3 years? If you get a chance to play you better gut it out in the last game of the year as you could very well be playing for your NFL career. Tee is getting paid just a question of where. Gut it out for what is in all likelihood a meaningless end of the year game is just not the same position at all.

if the Bengals had smart people organizationally..we would not be here..mistakes were made at all levels...

so lets keep tee..knowing our offense will be "assberries"  the 5-6 games he misses every season.. and of course the 3-4 half games he plays... how bout we do something about the numbers 2-3 receivers..man there are dozens and dozens of solid receivers @ the colllege level and some affordable free agents

Ford is a wonderful backup..versatile
