This.

Tee Higgins not a great target anyway. He's always injured.

 

[Neil Racki]

Tee Higgins has no interest in resetting the market for receivers, but the Cincinnati Bengals veteran is hoping to be paid his worth. Higgins, who reportedly reaffirmed his desire to be traded last week, was initially looking for a deal that was similar to the three-year, $70 million extension Michael Pittman recently signed with the Indianapolis Colts, according to Cincinnati.com. The Bengals haven't come close to the $20 million-per-year range for Higgins, per the report.

Over 20 per? No thank you.

Hes not even top 10 for WR, hes like top 25 imo.

Let's look at where we are now vs pre-season when the Aiyuk talk was dominating.

I was in the "get a top WR1/2" camp back then because JD was an unknown at the NFL level and there was clearly a deficiency in the WFT roster vs the rest of the division (other than maybe NYG). The common sense idea at the time was a top WR is a safety blanket and helps the other guys get open.

But a lot has changed since then. We now know JD is a legit, elite QB with precise passing and the ability to throw receivers open.

When you have a QB like that (think about what Brady did) you can get away with a WR corp that isn't so top-heavy. As long as you have guys with NFL speed and good hands who can run their routes correctly you can throw the ball enough to open up the run game, and then you're a match for anyone (provided your defense is top half of the league, at least).

So they may not even need another WR.

If Salah is gone, you''d think Nick Sirianni and Zac Taylor can't be far behind.

What do you do if you're a Carolina fan? They've sucked ass since the new owner came in back in 2018.

You sit and wait it out, like we did. Should only be about twenty more years now.

Sure, Jan. Owners talk to their QB late at night one day before the coach is fired all the time. Totally normal.
