As someone else mentioned, who are you signing in 2025 that has the impact tee Higgins does? Without Higgins, this team isn’t competing for anything week 18. Not even close. Do you think if we swapped Khalil Mack instead of Higgins we are better or worse?

Tee Higgins is arguably our 3rd best draft pick since 2011 (zeitler/Bates
/mixon could have an argument here). It didn’t work out letting Zeitler or Bates leave. We might not have had the playoff runs we did without Mixon.

Good teams don’t let their best players leave, period. The bengals messed up with Bates and zeitler and still have not adequately replaced either… who are still better (Looking at Zeitler) than what the bengals have.
