Tee Higgins
Chris Godwin
Stefon Diggs
Keenan Allen
Brandin Cooks
DeAndre Hopkins
Darius Slayton
Tyler Boyd (not catching "passes" from Levis and Rudolph)
Elijah Moore
Tutu Atwell
Olamide Zaccheaus
Josh Palmer
Noah Brown
And Marquise Brown, KJ Osborn, or DJ Chark might be interesting buy-low prove-it gambles.

There's a good smattering of talent of different levels. We already have a elite true #1 WR and we already have an elite QB, so the hard parts are already done. After that we just need to fill the ranks with decent dependable talent.
Josh Palmer is projected by Spotrac for 3yr/$12.8m and Brandin Cooks is projected for 1yr/$5.2m. Obviously on the assumption that we extended Chase, if we signed both of them or one of them plus Tyler Boyd (spotrac doesn't offer a projection for him but I would imagine something like 1yr/$2m) I would feel quite satisfied with our WR group heading into 2025 even if we didn't use a pick on WR (though we probably should still use a 4th or a 5th round pick just in case for depth).
This is an abysmal list of FA WRs. The only #1 FA WR is Higgins, the rest are way past their prime, or #3s, or Injured and way past their prime.
The Bengals only have 2 choices. Tag Tee....And trade him for draft capital. Or, extend him creatively with Chase.
I think I prefer the first option, given he misses 5 games a year over the last 2 seasons.
