I hope it doesn't come to that. Burrow needs more than Chase, and losing both Boyd and Higgins would make Bengals go from first place back to last place.
So if Bengals lose both Higgins and Boyd, then a WR with 1st pick is needed, but do not expect to get talent level of a Boyd or a Higgins.
I'm only going on posts on here. I have no idea of contracts or free agency. I was too busy watching Bengals winning games in Play-Offs to look ahead at contract situations in March. Just seeing threads of Higgins gone or Boyd gone, and losing both would kill this offense. The draft would then have to focus on getting Burrow more pass catchers. So WR Prospects would become the major need, or this offense goes back to being not very good.
No one with any sense is suggesting that we trade away both Higgins and Boyd.
Also, the only 1st round outside WR is Johnston, who most likely will be gone by 28, the others are slots. I do like Addison and Boutte but neither replace Tee, both are better athletes than Boyd.
