What would you trade for Tee Higgins?

Tee Higgins is a 24 year old WR who is clearly a #1 WR but he's hiding in the shadows of his teammate Ja'Marr Chase. As we all know Higgins is approaching the end of his rookie contract and will be looking for a new deal in the near future. The Bengals are known for being a cheap franchise. There is no way they can afford to pay Burrow/Higgins/Chase. They literally are getting weaker on defense as we took one of their best defensive players Vonn Bell. They need help on defense.

 

Why not make them a offer they can't refuse Jeremy Chinn/#39 for Tee Higgins.

 

What would you offer for Tee Higgins?

Also, they don’t have to pay Chase for 3 more years with the 5th year option and 2 more for Burrow. Yes, I know they’ll extend them earlier but they aren’t close to worrying about it with low cap $$$s earlier in contracts. Honestly, probably have 5 years with 0 worry.

Why would Cincinnati trade him? They are a SB contender. That would be a very dumb move and it’s not happening. 

Tell me how they can afford Burrow/Chase/Higgins?

 

Why not get another quality starter on defense and add another extra defensive player with that #39 pick.

 

Tyler Boyd is also a good WR in his own right. They will be fine at WR.

not out of the realm of possibility that they don't plan to invest that heavily in the WR position, and they are recouping some draft capital as opposed to just letting him walk.

I recall a story a few months ago that they were going to have to move on from him possibly as early as now because of $$ and because he wants to be a #1. Not a bad question at all. If he only costs #39 I'd do it and so would Cincy.

Tee Higgins will be there in Cincy this year and prob next. They can probably afford the Tag with both Chase and Burrow on rookie deals. Better chances are getting Boyd who could be a #2 for a 5th rounder.

Wouldn't it make more sense to keep Boyd who is cheaper than Higgins and still be a quality #2?

 

They could get a starter on defense in Chinn and possibly another starter with that #39 pick.

 

So basically they would be swapping Higgins for 2 defensive starters.

We would have to pay him
