Report: Bengals are trying to sign Tee Higgins long term

1) Re-sign Higgins to a multi-year contract

2) Trade Higgins for high draft picks


The "let's keep Tee for one more run with the crew" crap won't work. First off, we don't know how Burrow will come back after his injury and how long it will be before he plays back to himself. Also, Tee has a serious injury history and to think this is the year he will play injury free is ridiculous. So how realistic is it to expect him to produce it all in one season?  Leran from Jesse Bates and do either choice number 1 or 2 and make the most of it.


AND if they decide to keep him for one more run the Bengals better go all in this year and spend every last penny they have in FA to fill all the needed holes this team needs and actually go "All In"

Agree completely that these are the only two smart choices. Everything else is a gamble that Tee will be happy being blocked from longterm contract and be all in for one year run for sa team that didn't want to sign him longterm.  

Just throwing this out there because maybe my Harrison or Bowers scenarios were too high of hopes. 

The #2 ranked WR in the draft is from LSU and certainly friends with Burrow and Chase already and the Bengals fanbase added many of the LSU fans to it recently as well. Plus LSU has a great recent track record of WR's being ready to step right in and go. Seems a logical fit to me at a cheaper trading price. 

Malik Nabers " LSU" is projected as the 11th pick and much easier to trade up for imho. 

Sign the man or trade him and let him get paid elsewhere. Personally I would trade and not put so much money into just the passing game while ignoring other glaring holes.
