Burrow "confident" Bengals can re-sign Higgins

That'd be the Bengals FO having to pay MORE guaranteed money out of pocket this offseason by turning ~$20m of Burrow's base salary into a signing bonus to make more space.

Also Chase is about to get $90m guaranteed at signing.
Also Hendrickson wants an extension that'll be another $45m guaranteed at signing.
A Tee contract would probably be another $45m guaranteed at signing.

So the Bengals FO would need to immediately spend/escrow $200m in signing bonuses and guarantees this offseason before even beginning to consider actually adding anyone to the current team to actually make it better than it's been over two straight playoff misses.

Don't see it happening.
