I have covered every one of Joe Burrow's press conference since I started on this beat in 2021. He is calculated with everything he says & that's why, what he said about Tee Higgins is VERY noteworthy.

There's a reason he did that.

My sig says how I feel about keeping Tee. But this is telling. Joe says he is involved. Knowing he is involved and him saying he is "confident" they sign Tee tells me he knows how it can be done. We have guys we can cut in 2025 and save cap dollars to help rebuild the defense. I have a hunch we also would go heavy on defense if we do keep Tee.

One thing I do see is our offense gets better each week with Chase Brown and Ford has shown and ability to backup OT and OG once Orlando Brown is healthy. Mims is learning, but I have confidence he will be better in 2026.
