Any Ideas for a BOLD move that could set the Bengals up for Greater Success ?

Feel free to chime in with any Pros or Cons or warranted JEERS.  Just wanted to get the ball rolling.

Idea 1:  Sign DT Chris Jones away from the Chiefs this offseason Free Agency at an estimated $28.1 million per year. (3 year deal)
            (Let Tyler Boyd & DJ Reader leave to help pay for it. Reader may not be fully healthy early next season. Add a Nose DT & WR in Draft)

Idea 2:  Trade Tee Higgins for Draft picks then package some picks to go up an get Marvin Harrison Jr on a rookie deal.
             (Losing this week to the Browns would give the Bengals a higher pick and make this easier to do)
             This move lets another Team pay Tee while replacing him with what should be a similar, younger and less expensive talent.

The Trade for Christian McCaffrey to the 49ers seemed to Transform their Offense.
Maybe there is a move the Bengals could make.

*Please POST any BOLD ideas that you think could Transform the Bengals or set them up for Greater Success ?

Jones is a beast, but he will be 30 next year.  I'd be a bit hesitant at giving him that kind of deal at his age.  A 3 tech I would target would be the Ravens Justin Madubuike, who's had a monster 13 sacks this year and is still young.  I differ from you in that I would also address NT in FA, as well.  

Philosophically, I think they need to go harder in TC, focus a lot more on the starting 5 on OL gelling, and play the starters in preseason to ward off the slow starts.
