Virgil Posted October 14 Posted October 14 I understand that some believe the cap is considered a fictitious number and maybe the Bengals will be able to pay Higgins, Chase, and Burrow, but I’m skeptical. Also, the Bengals are another loss or two away from seriously having to consider getting some ROU before possibly losing him for nothing. At his age, with his skillset, he seems like an obvious target for the Bills. We know Beane is willing to pay for a #1, Higgins is proven and young. Yes, we could wait until the season is over and join the FA bidding war, but I know some on here think we need a receiver yesterday. For those in the WR1 camp, is this best case scenario and would you be okay with the Bills making a trade for him? 2 1 1 1 2 Quote

djp14150 Posted October 14 Posted October 14 The bengals will not be able to sign chase , Higgins, and burrow. It look like Higgins will be gone next year. At the deadline he could be on the block to trade. 2 Quote
Desert Bills Fan Posted October 14 Posted October 14 I like the idea! If the Bengals are not “all in” to win the SB this year - and at this point that looks far fetched - then yes! Bills should have a chance, and should try to trade for him. changes our O significantly. Puts the WR core into proper positions 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. with Higgins #1 Quote
BuffBillsForLife Posted October 14 Posted October 14 Sign him as a free agent next season instead. 3 1 Quote

somnus00 Posted October 14 Posted October 14 Honest question. Is he a true #1? Or was he a pretty good receiver with a great QB on a stacked offense? I haven't watched enough bengals games to know. And you can't trust a sports media that thought Gabe Davis was a good WR. Quote

Great player but he has the help of double or rolled coverage to Chase. 1 Quote
Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 14 Posted October 14 Higgins isn't worth it. Amare Cooper is the one year rental you want 2 3 Quote

I haven't watched enough bengals games to know. And you can't trust a sports media that thought Gabe Davis was a good WR. I can't say I watch enough Bengals games to say yes, but I do know that he has put together some really good games. He has strong hands, make contested catches, and I would argue is very capable of being a #1 receiver. My concern with him is injuries. I don't know how much of this season was legit injury or holdout, but he's a difference maker. Is he as good as Chase, no. But in the FA world, he will get paid as a #1 3 Quote
NewEra Posted October 14 Posted October 14 I’m in the we could use a boundary WR that can threaten deep camp. don’t think I would for Tee. He hasn’t looked the same the last 2 years. Wants lots of cash plus trading a good pick….idk. I can see why most would want him, but there’s a sliver of me that thinks we may have seen his best days. I think I’d rather pay a lot less for Slayton 2 1 Quote

Mr. WEO Posted October 14 Posted October 14 Nothing Beane loves more than a WR room full of other teams WR 2/3s 3 Quote
RiotAct Posted October 14 Posted October 14 Our WR room quietly got better in the offseason; why would we need one of these scrubs??? 5 Quote
