Ok I go to the YMCA here in Prattville Al where Cam Taylor Britts best friend is the program director. I found this out because he has CTBs Nebraska jersey hanging on the wall. I went in a few weeks after the draft and we talked about the Bengals for a while. Very knowledgeable dude and him and CTB obviously discuss everything.
CTB was back in town last weekend and talked to my guy. We had a pow wow this week and got some interesting feedback.
CTB told him that Tee is harder to cover/stay with and defend than Jamarr….but he said Jamarr is impossible to cover when Joe was throwing to him. Says they got that shat down lol.
Also said Joe is cool as can be and the real deal.
We all know about Joe and how Tee is a specimen, I just thought that was interesting.

I'm a little surprised Terry McLaurin's 3 year/$70 mil extension with the Commanders hasn't come into this discussion. When you factor in the final year of his rookie deal, it comes out to 4 years/$72.8 mil and an $18.2 APY. McLaurin is obviously a clear cut WR1 and has dealt with a carousel of dreadful QB's, but their production is similar.

Tee Higgins is worth 20M a year as a clear #1. He had 900 yards his rookie year in 15 games and Finley/Allen starting 6 of those. Tall, Good hands, body control, decent speed, good routes. I'd love to see him stay, but unless the Bengals are gonna pony up this is when they should learn to trade players away. IMO if he has another 100 yard season as a #2, he'll bring in a high draft pick. Of course, we could be chasing rings and have him play out the contract before letting him go to free agency. It's a real bad look to have people unhappy in the locker room.
