The fascinating thing with Higgins is that he can’t sign an extension right now. A trade for him is likely a commitment to franchise tag him again (almost $26M), and then you have to offer him a good enough contract that he doesn’t choose to play that one year for $26M and then guarantee hitting free agency in 2026.
 
I’d like t argue you are wrong but you can only miss so many times.
Since 2001.. patten, givens, branch, eldelman,Myers, Malcolm mitchell ,pop. I'll give honorable mention to dobson he had a good rookie season but couldn't stay healthy enough to have good career.

If we traded for Higgins my guess is the team would extend at the start of the new league year. Or likely have something tenantive with a long term extension. However he's a great talent and would be a great weapon for Drake.
 
I hate it.

Next years wr class unfortunately looks much different than it did a couple weeks back.

Cooper was traded to Buffalo, i don’t know if theres any way they let him hit fa if he does well for them which i think he will.

Godwin and Diggs just had big injuries. You could go after one with a prove it deal but now you would probably have to still do alot more to get quick help for drake even if you land one of them.

A once promising class is now down to basically tee higgins who himself has hammy issues. We might have to look to that top 5 pick for wr help.

Yeah. I'd say trying to find another guy at the bottom of the first or top of the second round would be priority. So in thinking next years WRs could be KB, Higgins, pop, Boutte, Polk and baker and 2025 Draftee

One how about both they are proven in this league.

Same for the LT class. Wirfs got the mega deal, Robinson traded to the Vikings. The names are shrinking.

Still have Alaric Jackson, Garret Boles, Ronnie Stanley as options but teams seem to be locking up their LT’s before they can hit the market. Robinson trade was because they lucked into another LT.

I am very intrigued by LB Dre Greenlaw from the 49ers. He was a stud in coverage before the freak injury in last years super bowl. Think he would be a very interesting piece if healthy.
 
Unless someone offers a 3rd I wouldn’t trade Bourne, and no one is going to give a 3rd for him. He’s too valuable as a leader for really young WR room.
4 catches 29 yards great leader numbers there in four games.

I love MacMillen and Hunter but they have to go LT with their first pick. If the scouting reports come down that Campbell and Banks aren’t worthy of a high pick they will have a tough choice to make, but if the value is close they have to go LT.

I wonder what will be the excuse when he puts up another bagel on Sunday. Hurry up Wolf Bourne's Trade value is shrinking.
 
Yet you would have given Calvin Ridley 100 million for similar production.
Wolf would too Ridley had 143yds last week FYI.

Coming from someone who didn’t want them to take Drake Maye your opinion is pretty much meaningless. You would have gotten rid of Belichick and Brady 8 games into their first season.

I thunk Wolf is holding out for a 6th but Teams are offering 7th for Bourne...just take it Wolf.

Which is more than his first 7 games put together.
Tennessee QB's suck like Brissett if you haven't noticed.
