KC didn’t trade Hill to Buffalo, but to our division rival. If Higgins is traded, I don’t think it would be to Buffalo - or KC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Bengals organization has always been tight with money terms in contracts. I am not surprised by this. Sit back and watch them unravel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgins can sit out until week 11 (I believe) and still get his year accrued towards FA. Hendrickson can sit out all of TC. If they fine him for, it will only tick him off more. Then you have Chase coming up on his contract as well. Great times at WKRP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills have shown they can turn it on and go deep with shoestring and bubblegum outside of Josh Allen, the Bengals not so much. And Glass Burrow has to show he can play more than one full season in his career. If the Bengals' window is open, it has a 'no see um' screen in front of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference in outcome is that they won an extremely close game vs KC in the AFCCG in January 2022 and lost an extremely close game in the AFCCG in January 2023 (on a personal foul call, of all things). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bengals were incredibly lucky in 2021. Every Bengal playoff game was incredibly close. In the wild-card game, the Raiders had three shots at tying (or winning) the game from the Bengals 9-yard line with 30 seconds left. In the divisional game against the Titans, Tannehill threw two 4th quarter interceptions including one with 40 seconds left at mid field that set up the Bengals game winning field goal and in the conference championship, one could argue the Chiefs were emotionally spent from the 13 second game. The 2021 Bengals were probably the weakest AFC team in the Super Bowl in about 20 years. Edited April 25 by Billy Claude 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweats Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 16 hours ago, Virgil said: I can't fault them for the Hendrickson contact, as he has a deal in place. Not speaking to Tee in a year, that's weird. In fairness, they have a lot of young talent that deserve huge deals. Not everyone is going to be happy I've got a feeling that Cincy is just waiting to see how the draft plays out for them before confronting Higgins with a contract.

Oh yea... He's a gator roll guy too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chiefs ran that stupid play before the half that didn't score and ran out of time - which in a 3 point game is kind of important. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great times at WKRP I would say that the latter is the cause of the former - the Bengals probably want to negotiate with Chase and then work out other contracts. JMO.

warrior9 Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 17 hours ago, KingBoots8 said: Predicting the Bengals try to package Higgins to Chicago to move to #9 if the right player is available still. Chicago gets: Higgins, #18, #80 Cincy gets #9. Thats a VERY steep price for a team that has DJ Moore, KA, Kmet and the ability to get a younger play maker to develop behind the two. For some reason, people CLAMOR over Tee Higgins and he has been the most average WR since he came in to the league and he can't stay healthy. He's never hit 75 catches, he has had 1091 and 1029 as his career highs and never more than 7 TDs in a year. Giving up #9 for that guy.... seems like lunacy. Not to mention, Cinci giving up that much to move up 9 spots is even worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Teams can pay aiyuk or Higgins. Or gamble on a draft pick. One or both could move by the end of the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much. Once a team pays their QB, they can maybe sign 1 other first tier (and expensive) offensive player and 1 first tier (expensive) defensive player. Then they have to make-do with good to decent older veteran players and youngsters on their rookie contracts. If the QB can't make the guys around him better, the team is in deep doodoo. Mike Brown aside, there's really no way that the Bengals can afford both Chase and Higgins after paying Burrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention FURTHER - he's coming off an absolutely terrible season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
