Higgins (908 Yards, 6 TDs, 13.6 yards per reception catch percent 62%) Boyd (841 yards, 4 TDs, 10.6 Yards per reception, catch percent 71.8%). Boyd in the slot I totally agree with as well as his leadership. I think he is great . Especially the 2017 game where he caught that pass and knocked the Ravens out of the playoffs and put the Bills in. It was awesome.
But we are talking about hypothetical situations here and trades. If a team offered say a top 30 in the NFL guard for Boyd wouldn't you take it? That would never happen but we are just talking about what ifs here. Having a top guard locked down for the next few years (and if Carman works out) would put them in position to be able to draft and sign through free agency other points of need as well as a new slot receiver.
This isn't going to be the Bengals break out year IMO. So if a deal was made that made the O-line better for years at the expense of Boyd I'd take it. Then again I don't own or manage an NFL team. :)
Oh and I agree Mixon isn't off the trading block if it were me. Seems the RB position loses value each year. And if he doesn't get better run blocking this year I am willing to bet he will be asking for a trade.
Yeah, Tee had a great rookie season, no doubt. I still say Boyd is our most dependable Receiver and he is a leader.
I wouldn't trade Boyd as I think he is essential in us having a breakout year. Love Mixon but I think he would be our best
trade option as we can find decent RB's that could run behind a good OL. Still thinking grabbing a good OL after cuts is our
best option even if some want us to get their preferential dude and trade picks and players to get him.

What? Turning a bust into a great Guard. I will take that.

I am talking strictly Oline depth. The Bengals have next to nothing of value in that department. It's all young guys with "potential". I don't love that.
Price blows. I like D'Ante and Trey Hill though a lot. Need to add another vet OL after cuts though for damn sure.
I also don't love our depth, I don't think anyone does.

Good question.
