This makes sense, actually. If we are interested (you have to assume we probably are) then why not wait until next offseason when he's on the market? Cincy won't re-sign him; they're looking to make a SB run this year and hoping to get one last year from him.

Unless he outright refuses to play for them and forces a trade I don't think they'll trade him, but they're not looking to keep him long-term either. So he'll very likely be available next year in free agency, at which point we'll have plenty of cap space and hopefully something resembling an actual functional NFL offense to put him in.

I agree, IMO Higgins stock is only going to get lower (see Brian Burns trade value). Makes sense to wait and let Cincy assure their own mutual destruction

Trading away 2 picks that could very easily end up being two young solid WRs for a guy who wants a big deal makes no sense. If this was a shitty WR draft and we weren’t completely rebuilding, maybe. Right now, with this draft, completely stupid.

This draft reminds me of 2020 when Higgins went 33rd and Pittman was 34th right behind him. Lamb and Jefferson went in the first but Ruggs, Jeudy and Raegor all went before Jefferson.

We have to hit on 33 and 39, but the WR talent in this draft is such that you could possibly come away with both Higgins and Pittman. Then again, we could get Shenault, Hamler, Claypool and Van Jefferson, the next 4 WRs taken in that 2nd round.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
