Rapien - Bengals Must Tag Tee Higgins

[Luvnit2]

I love a healthy Tee Higgins. Bengals have 2 #1 WR's. Chase is arguably the best WR in the NFL or top 3 at worst. Tee could be a #1 on 10 or 12 NFL teams. The question becomes if Burrow is as great as we all think he is, why does he need 2 #1 WR's who will call a boatload of cash and cap the next 4 or 5 years.

Bengals need a solid #2 WR and Slayton could be that guy in my opinion. I have been back and forth all year on Tee. I think our best bet would be to tag and trade Tee. We should get a 1st and 3rd round pick minimum and maybe a 2nd and 3rd the following year as well. If you are team looking to draft a WR with picks 7 thru 14, he is by far best available.

If we had 2 1st round picks in 2025, I think we could easily find a very good #2 in the draft in round 1 or 2. A guy like Slayton would also be a great option. If we paid Slayton say 10 million in cap in 2025, we have 16 million to put towards a great OG or very good pass rushing DE to pair with Trey. There are other options for a #2 as well the 8 to 10 million range for 1st year cap hit.

Bengals have many options; I would love to get a great value in a trade for Tee.
