I'm not sure that the Bengals can get a 1st round pick for Higgins, particularly in light of his health and performance last season. If they force him to play on the tag; I fear that we'll have a situation similar to what we went through with Jesse Bates, and many will suggest that he's playing 'cautiously' if he's not balling it out every time he hits the field or misses a catch.
I don't see us trading Tee, we trade him and likely out goes our shot to win it all in 2024.
As far as the cautiously playing comment, I would argue he got allegator arms a few times in 2023, so yes, a definite concern for 2024.
I don't see it happening but would love to see us figure a way before season to sign both Chase and Higgins long term. Yes, we have 2 high paid WR's, but our 3rd receiver if Burton, Usi or Jones are all paid a lot less than Boyd's 10 million in 2023.
We have benefited having 1 great and 1 very good WR on rookie deals, but again, we did not Boyd saving a lot so signing Tee and Chase would be offset some by no Boyd in 2024.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
