I think you nailed it.
Blackburn women were tired of potential worries with him.
Moved him out.
Smiles aside, if the reaction to someone running across your suburban back yard is to go outside and start blasting at shadows.. Even if he had legit death threats (over what, I wonder?) wouldn't the smart, reasonable thing be to stay inside and lock the doors? I'm not anti-gun by any stretch & I don't even have a huge problem with someone owning an AK "pistol" as a collector/hobbyist, but to let his ex-con BIL wild out with it like Scarface...
To me that points to some serious bigger issues behind the scenes. That is not normal behavior, he or at the very least the people around him are caught up in some bullshit. Family or not it's his house and his name on the line, to let that mess happen when he was already under a microscope from the road rage thing (if that was even real IDK)..
Anyway we've been over this before, I'm just relieved he's someone else's problem now. I'd enjoy watching him go off for Houston & put whatever that was behind him.

Reading back through this thread, it seems that no one is very happy about the moves the Bengals made at RB. Plenty of people were done with Mixon and wanted him gone for a while now. Yet I’m not seeing much celebration that they got their wish. I’m assuming that’s mainly because they don’t know or like Moss (already) and/or wanted a bigger name in free agency. The same goes for the smaller group who supported Joe and we’re OK with keeping him. They’re not pleased at the change and see it as a downgrade.
My take is the Bengals wanted to get younger and cheaper at the position. Moss is both of those things compared to Mixon. He flashed early last year for Indy last year in place of Jonathan Taylor after being traded from Buffalo. That’s not much to go on, but it’s something.
Considering they ran the ball less than any team except Washington last year - even with a backup QB - I think you're right that they don't put a high value on the position. It'd make sense that they primarily want RBs to block & catch.

Do his thigh pads really say "Neighborhood Hero"??? I'm guessing some of his neighbors may disagree.
IDK, I'm guessing the amount of cash he had to give them to make that whole incident go away was pretty heroic

Just tossing it around
Would u trade Tee and our 18 for Tenn at 7?
Hell no. I'm not giving up a first round pick and a proven first round-quality WR just to move up 11 spots.
Their 2nd round pick at #38 for Higgins straight up, maybe. I suppose the fact they'd have to negotiate a fresh contract with his somewhat delusional agent is worth consideration.
That aside, the Bengals tagged him for a reason. I don't see the logic in giving up draft picks along with him when they could've just let him walk.

That's Pollack next to him. He ordered the Steak Burrow but Pollack coached him down to some White Castles.
Gotta check that ketchup technique somehow

Still not getting how we went from trading Higgins for a high draft pick to giving up our own draft picks along with him.

Incompetent? Yes. Dumb? Kinda.

They just need him to be a placeholder for an early draft pick, or plan B if they whiff on that pick yet again.
If they intend to skip the OL again in the draft and point to this guy, that's a different story... But it wouldn't be a surprise, would it?

Well.. yeah? How does getting caught screwing the Bengals prove they aren't trying to screw the Bengals in your reckoning?

Yes just take care of the 2 biggest glaring holes that are also by far the most difficult to fill and they'll be golden. Or write off another season to growing pains when rookies predictably play like rookies.
Kind of silly arguing about the quality of the free agent market when they don't currently have a starter at RT or NT. I'm cool with them taking their time but they're going to have to bring in a couple of vets.

I'm sure Lou "the Alchemist" Anarumo will make something happen with Hill's skill set. I just hope he gets to settle in on position and master it for his long term development, moving around and playing different positions sounds cool but it doesn't help you specialize on one role. Dime or Nickel corner/safety.... whatever..he just needs to be on the field.
As much as those guys move around to disguise coverage I'd bet there's a lot of overlap in responsibility. Just needs snaps like any young DB, IDK if it matters so much where he's lined up beyond taking advantage of his strengths.

Good signng for Callahan.
He's trying to compete with the Texans on improving for a playoff run.
Woah that's crazy, we should try that. It may not be as effective as writing about how much borderline practice squad quality guy has improved over the off-season but it's worth a shot.

There is no way they don't draft a tackle though, it's just a matter of with what pick. It's a question of what are they going to do about getting a bridge guy in here. Are they going to go into the draft without a RT? What happens if there is a run on tackles and we miss out?
I would've thought there was no way they'd ignore the OL entirely in last year's draft, knowing how many guys were getting up there in age & in the last year or two under contract. I would've thought there was no way they'd replace Jonah at LT, have him ask for a trade, then make him play RT where he's completely outmatched and the flaws in his game would be an even bigger liability.
So, you know, at this point keeping him at RT for the next 5 years seems entirely within the realm of possibility.

It's all fun and games to joke about but screw it. Give them this year's and next year's 1st round picks for Jefferson.
Right, give them two 1st round picks and Higgins so we can replace... Higgins.
I think maybe I should stay out of this thread

If he wants a 1 year prove it deal while we draft his replacement
Not the most ideal but ....
Prove what though, that the last 4 years were a fluke?
My concern is they bring him back and then act like everything's fine while Joe continues to take a beating.

I'm not sure there is a FA worth anything more than a 1 year vet minimum at this point
They're going to bring back Jonah aren't they

I mean that's what I predict it would take. But it could be less. But I would give that if necessary.
The difference between Jefferson and Tee is massive. It's like comparing Burrow to Daniel Jones.
Amazing how Higgins sucks now. Fickle much?

Yeah well, sucks for him. I'm not giving up the farm because one cow's being cranky.

Not always, and that's the stuff that worries me.
But again I am of the opinion that RB here isnt the issue, it's a lack of a good run blocking Oline
The one position group we've yet to hear so much as a whisper about...

If Duke pulls this off they will replace the statue in fountain square with him!
It likely takes giving the Vikings: Tee, Browning, and a 2nd and 3rd rd pick this year. But that's still well worth it.
So give up a WR1, a capable QB2, and a high draft pick in return for.. a WR1?
No thank you.

At least it borderline crippled them.. & then they had to ride with Flacco. IDK if that's justice exactly but it's something.

2024 NFL Mock Draft

I'd say because they know his value.. If he's not going to play here they want to get something towards replacing him. However if they were listening to trade offers, his speaking out about it might have ended negotiations. The public didn't need to know, that's a bad look.
Higgins vs TN 2023 postseason
^ that's immediate WR1 on, say, 20 teams at least? I think that's worth a first round pick even with the veteran contract he's earned.
Having forced their hand though my bet's on reporting halfway through camp and then balling out, maybe another tag but with a trade already in place. I wouldn't rule out an extension yet either once reality sets in.
