& this is why you don’t trade Tee Higgins for just anything. You give away your Top10 WR & watch him go crazy for another team (Aj Brown)
… you draft a bum in Burks as a replacement. Get your Gm fired. Then come back and overpay for a near 30 year old receiver ?Nope. ??‍♂️

Post from Zim (on X) above.

This is such a great point. The Titans got fleeced in that trade for AJ Brown. Tee is a very similar player and has AJ Brown potential.
AJ Brown didn't do much with the Titans. Then he goes to Philly and is fully utilized and balls out.
Bengals don't want to get fleeced in a trade and that's why they haven't pulled the trigger.
They know his value.

If the right offer comes along it makes sense. But man would it have been nice to see Tee go off this year and increase his trade value.
I keep saying this year will be the year he does and then it never happens. He tends to go off for the last half of the year or whenever Jamarr is hurt.
But we still haven't seen him or Jamarr fully reach their potential, and that has to fall on the coaches when it comes down to it.

Maybe it makes sense to keep Tee this year and sell him next year after another tag.
