Bengals need to take the chiefs approach of building around Mahomes.

Keep your golden goose(Kelce/Chase), invest seriously in offensive line, and bring in good secondary receivers/tight ends who want to play with Burrow for a year or 2 for low money.

I like Higgins, but the chiefs really had no issue replacing Tyreek with other cheaper options. Helping the trenches for real helps Burrow and the running game, which the bengals desperately need.

If they pay Higgins, it’s gonna really hamstring the rest of the salary cap. Burrow and Chase are obvious must pays, I don’t feel that way about Tee. Chiefs just proved you can replace Tyreek. Juju put up 900 yards, Kelce was Kelce, MVS filled the deep threat role.

I agree. I'd hate to see Tee leave, but if it's at the expense of Oline, i can't see keeping him. 

The smart move is to pay Burrow and Chase, re-sign Boyd, draft Tee's replacement and spend money on the line.
