Sadly, I think Tee is as good as gone. It's just going to be too pricey especially when you have so many other guys coming up for new deals.
Maybe you can get creative by cutting/trading Boyd and freeing up that money somehow - but that is going to be tough.
Right now, I see Tee as a legitimate #1 on a large number of NFL teams. I would try to fight to keep him because of the different dimension he provides and excellent insurance if Chase were to ever miss a game or two.
Higgins may also realize that he will almost never see another team's #1 CB while Ja'Marr is here, and I am also certain he loves playing with Joe Burrow.
Personally, I would rather go cheap at slot WR, RB, and even TE (by cheap, I mean draft picks...and avoid big second contracts) and have the Trio of Joe, Ja'Marr, and Tee together. I just think it gives defenses more trouble than almost any other combination of talent.
