It will be interesting to see if the Bengals can keep their big 3 at WR going forward. Notice that Higgins hasn't been resigned yet even though his contract expires at the end of this season. When he was asked about Higgins, Mike Brown gave a treatise on the salary cap and conceded that you can't pay everyone.

Albany,n.y. Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 On ESPN radio this morning they were criticizing the Bengals for not getting the deal done yet. Funny, I never heard any criticism of the Ravens, especially 2 years ago, when they were in the process of letting Lamar Jackson play through his 5th year option.

Process Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I would hope so. Crazy it's not done yet. If I'm him there's no way I step on a football field until contract is signed. We're talking a quarter of a billion dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the Ravens front office have earned some currency through the years, the Bengals front office on the other hand have earned the opposite through the years.

Higgins is a goner for sure, some team will offer him top-10 WR money & no way he'll pass that up, or could Cincy match. They could maybe re-sign Boyd if he comes cheap. I could also see them letting both walk and signing a mid-tier vet & drafting another WR. There is no way they don't make Chase the highest paid WR in the league, and losing other key players is cost of doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Higgins leave and Boyd possibly cut to keep Hendrickson around another 4-6 years too. 2 minutes ago, Mark Vader said: The Jaguars have yet to give Trevor Lawrence a new contract.

I don’t know if that’ll be a given - I think tlaw may have some work to do to fully jump the field. He should handily bounce the deals a few years old but don’t know that he will beat burrow weeks to months later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the logical scenario, but we are talking about Mike Brown here, a notoriously tight fisted owner. I could see him balking at paying Chase upwards of $35m per year which is probably what the market will be. He might just decide to pay Higgins and play hardball with Chase. If I were their Coach, I would be thinking this year is probably my best shot to win it all before the wheels come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burrows is considerably better than Jackson. Jackson's style is far less sustainable. Risk profile between the two is just very different.
