I don't know about long-term. This season will determine his contract fate. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 Troy Franklin probably warrants some watching now with the new coach hiring. Has versatility playing both boundary and slot which is what I’m sure they’re looking for. ++speed which is what the offensive skill position sets need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelWeston Posted February 17 Author Report Share Posted February 17 An interesting find in my "Who did my coaches coach before at other places" research. Gabe Davis played for Troy Walters at UCF. There isn't a terrible argument to pay Gabe Davis and let Higgins walk and use the savings elsewhere. Davis isn't Higgins but he's an obvious starter.

Higgins will likely play with the Bengals this year He's a great Wideout and they'll need him for the run. Burrow wants him to win it all . that means something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelWeston Posted February 17 Author Report Share Posted February 17 I have been pretty foreclosed about Higgins back with a new starter in the slot. But lets say they go the other way. Boyd back and a new starter on the outside. Yoshi certainly flashed the most of the rookie WRs. I don't think it's out of line to say he showed he could develop eventually into an impact 2nd WR. However, I wouldn't bet on this year being the year. So you'd have to pair him with an adequate veteran. Who is that? Josh Reynolds, Noah Brown, DJ Chark, KJ Osborn, Van Jefferson, Peoples-Jones?

sparky151 Posted February 17 Report Share Posted February 17 Bengals won't let Higgins just walk away. And aren't likely to trade him after a tag either. We should stay far away from Gabe Davis and let some other team overpay him. Assuming we tag Tee, Boyd leaves and Irwin re-signs, we could draft a WR but it doesn't need to be a high priority. If Tee leaves next offseason, then it's a bigger need but every year the draft has good receivers as most colleges run spread offenses now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a “Little Dutch Boy” situation: move resources around for the sake of one need position, and then having to put their fingers in the holes of the leaking dam in the area where they had filled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not me. Reader is not on the team right now, I like BJ Hill but he's better in a rotation. We have almost nothing at DT. Having a WR2 that is basically a WR1 is a luxury and it's much easier to get WRs in the draft these days. That said unless the trade is for a high 2nd or a 1st I'm not doing it. The value has to be there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tag in 25 for 24 mil is a good price. 2 yrs. 45 mil..22.5 per Worth every penny if they can do it 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
