Even if the salary cap goes up, would Jefferson command too much money? Would Jefferson and Chase want to be on the same team knowing that the other will steal targets? Chase isn't a diva but all receivers want the ball.
I'm like you and I want Higgins, if nothing else than for than keeping our core together.
Agree. It brings an extra feel of pride to Tee and to the Bengals.
I'm hoping that Tee also sees that the grass might not be greener on the other side, even if a team does offer him slightly more money, because having a QB like Burrow will extend his career and keep him producing at a high level.
Winning the Super Bowl (or even another deep run) does scare me because everyone thinks it's because of them, so he might chase money somewhere else.
I hope not!
While most players chase money and a chance at a Super Bowl, I would suspect that elite players like Higgins and Chase realize they are going to get paid no matter where they play, and Super Bowls are nice, but they are looking at the Hall. And to get to the Hall, you have to have a good QB throwing to you.
