You can do either one but you can't do both.

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.
You both definitely make a good argument.
Disagreeing with this assessment would seem to assume that Burrow is much less of a QB than Mahomes or that Tee is more valuable than Hill, neither of which is the case.
Keeping Tee and Chase can be done, but what is the sacrifice? Oline or defense? Both?
