SoonerBillsFan Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 If they are smart they let another team sign him, decline to match, and gather draft picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 8 hours ago, Mikie2times said: So does this mean we have to worry about the Bengals again or can we still pretend we just need to figure out how to beat one team We at least know how and have beaten the Chiefs multiple times. Have had multiple chances late in the game to beat the Chiefs in the playoffs. We haven't really been competitive against the Bengals on either side of the ball, but on defense in particular. We have no clue how to beat the Bengals. Three straight games they've started the game with back to back scoring drives to open up the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smart teams would draft a WR before it becomes a big need. That last sentence 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be rough but they can backload a lot of their contracts and re structure their big ones. Bengals window will be at least 2-3 more years until they start running into cap issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don’t think anyone is willing to trade for him-he’s not worth a first round pick and the contract a team would sign him to. Lots of good young receivers in the draft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry and him with a rookie qb would be huge for development Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 On 2/23/2024 at 11:51 PM, GunnerBill said: Yea but they are going to have to pay Chase this year. The elite guys want paying as soon as they come due now - after year 3. If they don't pay Chase expect it to get tense quite quickly. Now the way you do that normally is you give him a huge chunk of change as a bonus so that it doesn't make a big dent in the cap until after the rookie contract years are done. But Mike Brown is a cash to cap guy. He doesn't have deep pockets to start throwing a lot of money around up front and then just account for it on the cap over the long term. It just makes it tricky. I don't think this is the right play by the Bengals (and I have always liked Tee a lot) unless they are going to try the much talked about, rarely executed, tag and trade option turn that 3rd round comp pick into a 1st or high 2nd maybe? Not necessarily. Usually that happens if the player was drafted outside of the 1st round and explodes, like Metcalf. Justin Jefferson is a better WR, was taken later in the 1st round of his draft than Chase was and a year earlier (means he got less in his rookie contract), and he's not demanding a new contact.

BarleyNY Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Cincy hitting Higgins with the tag so quickly tells us that they won’t be signing him long term. He either gets traded or plays on it this season and walks next. Either is a win for the Bengals, though a trade is the more favorable. To the end they made sure to tag him before the combine, where potential deals can be discussed. Smart move on their part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
