They can't afford a long term w/ him, given what Chase & Burrow are going to be getting. Per Joe Marino that would cost them $100 mill a season, they'd essentially have no one there players. We can't afford him. Hopefully they trade him to the Cardinals or Saints & not KC

"I got tagged on a one year deal for 20 million dollars. Wahhhhhhh, wahhhhh. The team hasn't negotiated with me long term yet even though they have until July 15th. Wahhhhhh, wahhhhhh

This is the game.  If he doesn't force Cincinnati's hand, then they get another year of his prime without a big commitment.

 

You know what's nicer than $20 million dollars?  $40 million!

Dummy diva players and their hubris: would rather be a number 1 on a crap team than play with a potential HOF QB and a winning organization.

It's a delicate balance for sure, but after seeing it over the years with Greg Jennings, Allen Robinson, Kenny Golladay and others, money is paramount.  

 

These guys are 1 injury away from their career values taking a massive hit.  You have to get it while you can.

He isn't gonna make $40 million with the Bengals or anywhere for that matter. The top receivers are topping out at $30 million but I wouldn'tpay him that either. And the Bengals have until July 15th to make a deal with him and he is whining before even the first official day of the new league year about not getting the big deal he wants. He's being a baby

Only if they trade him, and if they do it takes another WR needy team off the board round 1.  So it’s at worst a wash for us with the possibility Bengals (who have many needs) could wait to take a WR round 2 with such a deep draft.

I think they consider a WR even without a trade but we'll see.

I meant in guaranteed money, not annually.

Higgins left me wondering how good he REALLY is last season. Drops and separation issues at times through the season. I'm not close enough to Bengals info to know if injuries contributed...

I thought that tag and trade was where they would wind up. I didn't think Higgins would agree to play under the tag. He wants to get paid long term. Extension out of the question with Burrow now and Chase coming up.

The Bengals organization is the biggest dumpster fire.

They got to a Super Bowl in Burrow’s second season. 
 

I think that makes Buffalo a bigger dumpster fire.
