Depends on what they do with it but it could be a high end player at safety, guard, or running back. Or a solid player at WR, DE, or CB.

She did call 911, as did her mom. I think they said she arrived and the burglary had already happened, not that she was home during the break in.

Doing a tag and trade requires the player's cooperation but isn't that hard to get. Most players want long term security on a multi-year contract. If the Bengals tag Tee next February and trade him to say the Patriots, they get a WR1 for their new QB, Tee gets a lot more money than the Bengals will pay, with guarantees, and the Bengals get an early 2nd round pick. Win-win-win.

The team can certainly afford to give Chase and Higgins new contract extensions after this season. The question is whether it would be wise to extend Tee. His tag number is about 26 mil and that would bring in a top tier defensive free agent or a couple of solid players.

For what it's worth, Spotrac says fair value for Tee is less than 19 mil per year. They have his comps as guys making in the upper 20s but discount his pay by a good bit due to all the snaps he misses from injury.

The police were called by someone who lives there. I thought Burrow broke up with his long time girlfriend? Does he have someone new?

He'd be an exclusive rights free agent, ie one the Bengals can hold the rights to simply by offering him the minimum salary.

Those numbers look a bit high for Ja'Marr and a bit low for Tee. I'll guess about 36 mil for Uno, which would make him the highest paid non-QB in the league and 27 mil for Tee.

Since the players are unionized the CBA has a standard player contract. The team and agent fill in the numbers but the layout is standard. They can agree on any incentives they want, etc. Coaches aren't unionized and every coaching contract is negotiated individually. Quality control guys don't have leverage so they basically take what they can get. But Reid or McVay could have clauses for anything in their deals. Dave Canales may get a full payout if he's fired since Tepper fired his predecessor in year 1. But I doubt the 1 year Texan coaches get full payouts.

The Brown family owns all but 1 share of the team. There are about 586 shares in total with the one share held by Dutch Knowlton's lawyer. The way Mike Brown squeezed the other shareholders in the 90s is pretty scandalous but he basically forced them to sell their shares to him. The salary cap is considered a "hard" cap in that all money spent on player salaries eventually shows up there. But it's pretty flexible and there are various mechanisms to move money around from one year to another. The Bengals are extremely unagressive in working the salary cap. So they are never in cap trouble but also never all-in. There's always room to spend more for better talent. The problem is the ownership and front office are wedded to practices that are suboptimal. The hardest thing to find in the NFL is an elite QB. The Bengals have that, due to some luck. But they don't build on it. The coaches are average at best and while the team spends a lot of money, the overall roster isn't especially good.

Bengals could use a bruiser at RB to complement Brown and convert short yardage situations. Skattebo would be a good fit but may well go earlier than the Bengals want to take an RB. It's a deep group at the position this year. We could probably get a Kalel Mullings or Kaytron Allen on day 3.

Not sure about that. Apart from the talent level, there are also issues with brain farts and intensity. IMO other coordinators could fix those. Lou claims the players are listening to him but the video says otherwise.

Belichick made 20 million per year with the Pats. The Bengals don't pay even half that. He'll have suitors after this season but the Bengals won't be among them.
