He's able to eat up blocks which makes it hard for teams to double Henderickson. Maybe they can sign both, but I would take Reader over Jonah as he been the more consistent player throughout his tenure with the Bengals. I dont disagree that Reader is a better player, but I pick JB standing up before I pick Reader 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonah is playing well but he's not some future HOF'er..a few months ago everyone was ready to trade him and he got replaced for a reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tibor75 Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Happy Halloween guys! Today is the 10 year anniversary of the MNF game against Miami. Highlighted by: Geno tearing his knee Gio reversing field for a 40 (or so) yard touchdown run The Dullton getting sacked in the end-zone for a walk off safety. Typical primetime Dullton.

Not saying he gets sacked every play if Jonah leaves and I said he has to play all year like this BUT if he leaves who goes in? One of our backup scrubs or do we pay huge $$ a FA RT when we can just try and sign Jonah. I trust Lou to work without Reader more than I trust the OL with no RT to speak of. I am fine with signing Jonah and Reader and passing on Tee - to me he is an obvious 3rd on that list. The other issue is Readers age, he may want a longer term deal than the team wants and we have been avoiding the 3rd contract guys who are older. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dex Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 1 hour ago, Jamie_B said: You do that and you lose Tee Absolutely no reason to think they will sign Higgins to an extension in the offseason. Cincinnati assigns a value to a particular value to a player based on position/production/potential and they don't move above that top line. There was no indication that Higgins was ever close to signing an extension this past offseason, which means as with Bates before him there is a sizeable gap between agent and front office. No reason to expect either side to budge enough to get a deal done. I don't think his agent will allow him to sign a franchise tag to play another season for the Bengals, so the only other reasonable option is a tag-and-trade scenario. I'm okay with that as long as it happens before the draft. After a Higgins trade WR will be another position to add to the list of draft needs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also don't think the Bengals want alot of turnover in the WR position next year, and if they let Tee go they lose him and Boyd in the same year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
