What's going on in Cincinnati?
Can somebody explain what's happening?
Burrow and Chase are both eligible for monstrous deals that will re-set the market. Are neither of them happening?! They said they are committed to keeping Tee Higgins... alright, fine. But the guy wants a $20m/year contract? Are they going to just hit the snooze button on this for a year somehow? Are these deals getting done? What's going on? |

Right.
So why are they trying to keep Higgins? Trade him to the Bears or whatever. Get cheap draft picks. Burrow is the closest this league has to Mahomes right now, keep the roster stocked. Is Higgins just going to say nevermind on getting a gigantic contract for a year? |

If your plan is to tag/trade Higgins, that removes the tag threat for Chase, which you'll need.

It also makes Higgins contract expensive as hell for the team trading for him.

There are reports that they've started discussions with Burrow. Chase will probably wait until Jefferson's deal is done.

Chase won't sign before Burrow (nor should he). Burrow's deal won't be terribly easy to iron out as it's gonna potentially set records. As for Higgins; really no sense in alienating the guy or diminishing his trade value either way. There's nothing hurt by saying "We're committed to retaining Higgins" all the way up and through the draft.

Supposedly the Bengals and Burrow have agreed to keep contract negotiations out of the media, so we likely won't hear much about that one until it's done.

They've been on the shitter since the week before the Super Bowl since they had to show us all how much they love Skyline Chili.

Probably waiting for the WR market to settle down after it went crazy 12 months ago

The Bengals are not stupid. They are basically going to look at the Mahomes deal and do that with Burrow. He's really the only other QB that you would feel comfortable inking to a long term deal like that, and I think Joe will agree to it. It will just be bigger than Mahomes.
As for their WRs, I think they keep Higgins this year because he's cheap. Worry about Chase next off season. I think they are basically just in run it back mode. But know this, Bart Veach is basically their GM too, because they are just working off his work product. |
