I  became more impressed with Tee Higgins.
I know Chase Burrow and Collins are the rock stars of this offense
But Tee Higgins importance to this offense cannot be overstated

He is easily the 2nd best WR in his draft class behind Jefferson.
He made huge strides going from rookie year to 2nd year.
He is the 2nd best WR in the AFC North.
Somehow some way I.dont think the Bengals can afford to let him
Walk and go to another team. Thats the thing though, Tee would be
A #1 for alot of teams in this league.
His skill level is that of AJ Greens. I think he might be a shade better
Than AJ also.
Whats your thoughts on Tee Higgins?
Should the Bengals find a way to pay him.what he is worth
Or do they let him walk and the Bengals lose a very integral part
Of their offensive success

I love Tee.  The fact that he grew up a Bengals fan, his story, and his toughness before and after the catch.  When you are next to the guy, you realize how damn big he is, but he can fly.  

Will they pay him?  Here's the thing:  I think the cap WILL skyrocket.  The revenue from gambling will be massive.  Maybe that makes some of us feel a little slimy, but it is reality:  People bet, and at least now the NFL will profit from it.  

With the skyrocketing cap, they will be able to (and will need to) have at least two top flight WRs.  Maybe three.  Higgins might want absurd dollars or he might want to win a lot of titles with Burrow and Company.     Either way, the Bengals will need to draft another speed merchant in this year's draft for depth and improvement at WR4.

As far as saying he is close to or even better than AJ:  One thing we forget about Green is that for much of his career, he was the main option.  Some would say he was the only option.  Dalton forced it to him so much that it was also where most of his balls got picked off.  Tee benefits from Chase on the other side, although one could argue that Tee's rookie season he was the #1 WR.  

If you go by simple production, I think Tee can actually outperform AJ by career....I sure hope he does it here.  Today's NFL is so slanted to offense, and with a QB like Burrow, there is no way a healthy Tee isn't pulling in 1000 yards and 10 TDs each and every season he is out there with the likes of Chase, Boyd, and now Hurst.
