INbengalfan Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 12 hours ago, PossibleCabbage said: I think the most likely trade involving Tee Higgins is a trade during the draft. Like a team wants to pick a starting calibre WR, sees all their starting calibre graded WRs go before their pick, and offers that pick for Higgins. But I don't know if Higgins would be okay with that. Like AJ Brown was traded during the draft for a FRP, but he wasn't on the franchise tag I think. At that point, I wouldn't do it if I'm the Bengals. What are they doing with the additional cap space? That's why I think the only way he gets traded after the next few days is if it's for another player or a player plus a mid level pick.

They get a better player at 9 (ostensibly the top RT or WR on their board) but still have a later pick to address the other spot. They have too many holes to be trading a player and not get a pick back to fill it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmittyBacall Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 He ain’t going anywhere unless major demands are met. Much more likely he plays on the tag in 2024. And for people citing Chiefs, Bills, Ravens, etc. as trade partners, ya’ll must have lost your mind. If he does get traded it won’t be to a rival. Think Panthers or Titans.

Also, it won’t be nothing - you need to consider comp pick and having him on the team for another year. We’re trying to win a Super Bowl here.

It would still be under market value to tag him again next year. That alone is why I think they still try to get a 3 year deal done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is assuming you don't sign any outside FAs which I kind of doubt when you have a projected 144M in open space next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ja'Marr Chase needs an extension. Is that figured in? We're not touching high end free agent signings next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be his 5th year option. Also I'm guessing you guys probably resign Reader and Boyd, so there's that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not Reader, someone. We'll spend more this year that impacts next year. I don't see us having high end wiggle room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Bengals should consider trading Higgins if they get a good offer. Something like low first round value. So an early 2nd rounder plus another pick would probably get it done. With the money saved, they could still re-sign Boyd to keep a receiver Burrow is familiar with. They'd still need a WR2 though. I could also see Higgins being traded for a player. Maybe to Carolina for Moton or Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soko Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 If Cincy can bag a FRP or a SRP + change, they should take it and run. Especially if it does end up being true that the 2025 franchise tag ($26M) is “under market value”. Your WR2 ain’t worth that, especially when Chase will probably land over $30M. This draft’s loaded at tackle and WR on the first two days. Land some picks and add the young talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
