To keep this in perspective, Tee is never going to be better than he is right now.  Across from Chase, one of the best QBs in the NFL who just came off his best year....His stock is HIGH.  Here, he'd face the #1 CBs-in Cincy, he was facing the #2.

Pay for prime rib, get chuck steak if you want.

I'm pretty sure he killed it in games Chase was inactive

He's not worth what it would cost plus the record setting contract. If we were going to just throw the kitchen sink at a Bengals WR it would be Chase. But that's never going to happen.

Agreed....why give the farm for a teams second best receiver.

Good point--I need to go back and look, but I believe you.  He still had Joe Cool as his qb...and I would imagine (I will look, not guess) that he got more targets.

Absolutely not.

I never thought he was going to be worth the cost of the contract we'd have to give him to be able to sign him.  Adding in what the Bengals are going to want in return for him and I'm WAY out.

I still think he's more of an elite #2 than a #1 and he has trouble staying healthy, just a hard pass for me.

It's wild to me that people would be okay with trading for Higgins and giving him a monster contract, but not drafting T-Mac who is a similar type of player but is younger, will be cheaper, and is going to be better than Higgins in short order anyways.  People here seem to be afraid of T-Mac's speed, but don't want to look up that Higgins ran a 4.59 himself, even if he plays faster, he's no burner.

It's the ultimate boom or bust move outside of a major QB trade. 

Can you imagine Higgins and Tyler Warren though...

"At this point, it appears that Higgins will sign a multi-year deal with the Bengals or will play another season under the franchise tag. Either way, the odds are that Higgins will not be leaving Cincinnati in 2025 unless he decides to take matters into his own hands (i.e. a holdout)." (5 hours ago)

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
