Tag and trade is my guess. Just not sure I see them being able to pay Burrow, Chase, and Higgins all at once while still fielding a complete team around them, and I don't know if Higgins will manage to not be a malcontent if he plays this year for $3.5m while Burrow gets a Brinks truck, and then is expected to play under the franchise tag (as opposed to him being traded and extended) while Chase gets a Brinks truck of his own.
