If we just forget the position for one second, is there a free agent out there as good as Tee is, that provides as much value to the bengals as Tee does. You have to account for risk (free agent not fitting in schematically, culture, attitude, etc). I really haven’t looked at the FA list, but I don’t have to. I know the bengals won’t go get a top 3 free agent. So spending your money on Tee makes sense.

We can scream fix the trenches all we want but who is out there to get that is as good as Tee? Who would they actually outbid for on the open market? Not any of the top free agents. Sweat maybe? A guy who’s bounced around from tam to team. Been fairly good. I think that’s a fair comp. Rather have tee or sweat? Keep in mind Burrow wants not only Tee, but Gesiscki too.

I doubt the plan was to keep higgins until Burrow started speaking up..we dont need anybody as good as Tee..WE need someone that can stay healthy, run simple 12-14 yard routes and catch the football...If this team does not do something dramatic to address both sides of the trenches..even if higgins played the full season ..we still would end up .500...ID tag him and trade him
