We gotta go get him (Tee Higgins)

[Love The Drake]

You're going to be disappointed they're going 1-2. Again thanks to Thunder.

I think 2 QBs go in the top 4
We get one of them.

praying Ward Blows Titans away.
Giants are said to be big on Sanders.
So then it’s just Cleveland who will take one of them or trade down.

That Browns Team is known to do some strange things also. Hopefully Ward blows them away too: Browns fans hate Watson: so anything is possible I guess.

Unfortunately (thanks Mayo), Carter will probably be gone before #4. Travis Hunter is NOT the answer at WR or CB (as there are players that I suspect will be better at either of those positions in this draft). Mason Graham at #4 (or even Jalon Walker) would be a solid pick. Add either of those to Higgins (Metcalf doesn't want to play here), and another solid WR prospect in the draft (Elic Ayomanor and/or Jayden Higgins?), and we could be onto something.

Agreed 100 percent! Here's what draft expect kiper has for us.

Seems like we were bringing the rear in every statistical department.

Yes. This is why we been picking in the top of the draft last few seasons..

Well.. expert was being fecicoius... lol.. I'll take Carter 100x over..

 

[lancerman]

We have the QB and now Front Office with a competent HC and all. We would Never get good FA's with Mayo as HC even if we had the $$$$$$.

We didn’t get good free agents the last few years with Bill. It’s more than that

 

[Love The Drake]

Carter, Hunter, trade down is the 3 best options.

Yeah, I don't get why people don't think he isn't a #1. He played like a #1 his rookie year before Chase came into the league and had several great games as a #1 when Chase went down for a month in 2023.

The Bengals just had the luxury of having two #1 WRs. A small handful of teams can boast that but that is what happens when you hit on your QB and your two starting WRs in two consecutive drafts all playing on rookie deals (until this year). Burrow and Higgins were drafted in 2020 and Chase was drafted in 2021.

I don't get it either, I have seen people point to him never having more than 75 catches in a season. If the determining factor is getting more catches targets than Chase on his team, there might only be 3 #1s in the NFL that might qualify. Tee is every bit a #1 as far as on field ability, now if you want to point to his availability that is a fair point.

I don't think the Pats will pursue him because of his extensive soft tissue injury history. Vrabel does not seem very tolerant of soft tissue injuries and especially at 30M a year.


If the soft tissue **** was resolved, I would 100% be down because he is a beast over the middle of the field (slants, crossers and digs) and Drake absolutely got the big Dig energy.

 

[RobertWeathers]

I'm thinking 25M a season.. don't think he's getting chase $$$.. as great as tee is yeah the durability factor does come into play..

$25m seems high for him but in reality that's probably what he is going to get.

Excellent post: people forgot that Cincinnati had a very Good #3 WR Tyler Boyd who left in FA last year. Add all purpose RB Joe Mixon who left in FA24 too: I hope this clears it up for the naysayers. Now that I think about it Tee Higgins have a #1 Ceiling.

4/130 65 million guaranteed. Front-load as much as possible.

That still will leave us with well over 110 million in cap space.

I'm sick of buying out of the dumpster, and I feel like people have been so conditioned to it, that they think that's the norm.

I don't care if he's 'not a number 1', he'll be 26 and is light years better than anyone else we have. That alone is worth it. He's not breaking our salary cap, even if he plays out the entire deal.

How are you spreading the cap hit?

I hear you on the dumpster diving.

I'd like to see something more incentive-laden.

$28Mill from us.

 

[PatsFan2]

You can overpay Higgins and still do everything else you want
Chiefs paid Thuney, Mahomes, Kelce, Taylor and Jones instead of Hill and then used 2 second round and 1 first round pick on WR

We only have Onwenu over 20 million, and then Barmore in 2027 if he can get healthy

I don’t think we’re gonna come up with 3-4 other free agents that we would sign ahead of Higgins

Eventually, we need to sign Gonzales and Maye but that’s it from current roster and Maye is a few years away.

We have a lot of cap space

I would move lorde @ss and that contract for a Fourth Rounder. We overpaid for that fat bum.

I'll take tee and a side of kupp to go with it!

32.5m per year. That's probably the number. I don't think he'll sign for less, but that's just my opinion.

If the Pats don’t land Tee Higgins, they could still land a younger, cheaper version and all it takes is drafting him. Tetairoa McMillan is a Tee Higgins clone.
