He has 66 starts across 92 games played.
Slayton has been playing on just a $6 mill per year contract.
If anything, he'll be closer to 1/4th the price, but ~70% the receiver.
In reality, Slayton could be a 800-900 yard WR in Cincy.
Not Higgins's caliber, but Higgins is arguably the top WR, maybe top guy overall in FA.
I think in reality, we all want to have Higgins back.
But he's going to be pricy.
And they have traditionally been bad drafting OL and DL, having more success in FA.
So would you rather have Slayton plus an upgrade at OL or DL added in FA, or just Higgins?
Personally, I'm cool either way. I won't be one of the ones upset if Higgins departs.
I won't be happy if we let Higgins go but I will accept it. It's possible to sign our guys and still get an upgrade for the OL and DL is what will really be disappointing. That's probably part of the reason I want Higgins back because it is possible if the bengals do what most of the league is doing. Are they willing to change to try and give us the absolute best chance to win a championship?
