If it is going to work then Burrow needs to take a cut in wages and pay Tee what he is worth on open market.

Are you saying a team is going to guarantee Higgins the majority of his contract? If so, I disagree. Tee's later years will be laced with roster bonuses (incentive to play well). There are many ways to structure and I just don't see any team going over 60% in guaranteed money with Tee. I see a huge contract overall number, but only up t0 60% guaranteed. Maybe I am wrong, we will find out very soon if they are goung to tag him. 

I say if no contract, Bengals will tag him for the 26 million all guaranteed and continue to negotiate. If no deal by the draft, I see them trading him for a lot on the 2025 draft. These need WR teams arent going to have great #1 WR's to choose. I see the following with needing a true #1:

Titans
Raiders
Bears (have a lot of picks and money)
Panthers
Pats
Browns )I don't think Jeudy is a true #1
Jets (they will cut Adams just too expensive
Jags

All draft in top 10 and only 1 WR to take a chance on and that is McMillan.

Denver
Colts
Bills
Bucs (Can Evans play forever)
Packers

I think Bengals can find a trade partner, too many very need # WR teams in 2025. and not enough WR free agents available. They may sign him long term, but a tag and trade is avery real possibility if Higgins want to break the bank for a #2 WR for us. Chase is our clear #1.
