We could either get a ton of good offensive linemen. Depending on how the draft goes and who takes the trade...Brock Bowers. Hell, we could even get an offensive lineman round 1, then use the earlier 2nd to get Xavier Worthy--Who could be better than Higgins--and then go from there.

We traded Billy Price in 2021, before this the last time the Bengals traded a player that wasnt demanding out was in 1972. Tag and trade is not a common scenario in the league and thinking that it is the plan for the most conservative, vanilla front office in NFL history is wild to me. It isnt impossible, but Id be shocked if it was even an option.
