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.
Isn't Hendrickson on the 2025 Bengals anyway. I don't see him listed as a free agent.
I don't see how anybody can be surprised if they don't keep Higgins. I really think it should be against the rule to keep one year tagging the same player, I would think the Players Union would be against players not being able to get multi-year contracts. If Higgins goes, the cupboard is not bare. They have to sign Chase to a bank breaking contract. Bengals have that other good WR. If I was Bengals owners, which I'm not, I would get my next WR where they got Boyd and Higgins, The Draft. Maybe a Round 2, should be a good WR in Round 2 still. Lower pay, so as owner you can rebuild the awful Defense with the new D Coordinator. A good solid D and good Blockers. Burrow will get the ball to Chase and Iosivas and a good draft pick WR.
The Bengals have been missing the Play-offs, so it's time to re-tool and re-load and rebuild around Burrow and Chase. That Higgins money is needed in other areas of The Rebuild.
I could be wrong, but I think Hendrickson is a Bengals in 2025 anyway. If I'm right, that's not a concern right now. Adding more Defense is, and they could use a Bell Cow DT up the gut. Bengals have been weak at DT last two years. You build The D from Front to back, and you must have a top DT, and Bengals don't. However after free agency and draft, they could be solid at DT. If you can stop the run, you can be better against the pass. However if teams can run up the gut on you, then you have no Defense. Bengals last 2 years have been one of worst Defenses in NFL. As good as Burrow is, you need some Defense to help Burrow out. Burrow can not score 50 points a game, too many good Defenses. So we must have a good Defense. Put the Tee Higgins money into Defense,
