Saw a story where the Bears are dangling the number 1 overall pick in a trade

So you know we’ve gotta say it…..



Who has a better deal than Tee Higgins, POSSIBLY BATES, our own pick and maybe even one more player? Let’s say whoever we trade gives the Bears a magic guarantee that they’ll resign long term.

Do you try and find a trade for that pick?






In my opinion i also don’t see many players with the value worth that pick so i wouldn’t do it. Tee is just too important imo. Honestly I’m in the boat where the STARTING price for me to even pick up the phone about a Tee Higgins trade is 2 first round picks.

As much as I like Jalen Carter and Will Anderson as prospects, I don't see a way the Bengals would give up the necessary amount to draft 1st overall and take one of those guys. And those are the only two guys worth taking at 1st overall if not needing a QB.

The Bengals (front office at least) would feel they have enough invested into the DL that they would not need someone like Anderson or Carter. They could just get someone at 28 (or later) to groom who can rotate in with Hendrickson, Hubbard, Hill, and Reader with a plan to eventually get them more playing time over the next couple years.
