Tee Higgins going foward.

[Whatever]

Between all the injuries towards the end, and then his final season here - people seem to somehow be forgetting just how good prime AJ was. And how many circus catches did we see him make over the years? I can’t even imagine what kind of numbers he could have put up with a much more accurate QB like Burrow in his prime.

And speaking of Tee and Bates’ agent, apparently he also represents Deshaun Watson. I saw the guys from the Locked On podcast talking about him. They brought up how much the family still hates the Browns, and that he’s probably not going to be their most favorite particular agent to deal with going forward.

There have been a lot of weird comps in this thread.  I think folks are forgetting about CD Lamb when saying Tee is the 2nd best WR in the '20 class.  Then there's omitting Chase from the "greatest 2nd gear" talk.  

I don't think keeping Tee is wise or realistic.  Tee is a high end WR2 on what should be one of the top teams in the league when he hits free agency.  He is exactly the type of player a bad team with a poor WR corps will throw monster money at to be a WR1(and probably have buyer's remorse later because they massively overpaid for him).  

I don't see it as being wise, either, because historically the Bengals have done a very good job at drafting WR's(Ross aside).  If the Bengals spend a 1st and/or 2nd on a WR in the next year or two, the odds are pretty high that they will get a guy that can replace Higgins production when he leaves.  Now, what are the odds that they're going to be able to draft a T to replace Collins or Jonah in that same time frame?  A lot worse.  It makes sense to spend your draft capital on positions that you know you can scout well and spend your FA dollars on positions you don't do such a good job of drafting.
