You guys need to get ready for the possibility that we don’t sign Tee OR Trey

I got told i was crazy yesterday cause most fans think we’re signing Tee OR Trey but i wanna be the 1st to say it……we ain’t extending EITHER.


If anyone really cares and want to know why i think this i will explain but to me it’s obvious we are moving on from both when their contact ends.

I was going into the offseason expecting both to depart due to the upcoming big contract for Chase.

As much as I like Hendrickson and Higgins as players and people, I never expected either to stay beyond their current contracts, especially Hendrickson given the age.

The reality though is Hendrickson may end up declining some within the next couple years, but a dropoff from 17 sacks is still likely putting him in the 9-12 range, so he should still be good even if somewhat of a dropoff.

I'm completely ok if Higgins walks this offseason and Hendrickson the next, but I would hope they would use some of the cap savings to backfill them with near-replacement level or good veterans at other positions while trying to backfill them in the draft. I realize that's a gamble, but teams (have to) take gambles like that sometimes.
