Bengals franchise WR Tee Higgins has requested to be traded being that there have been no contract talks with the team now in over a year, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Three-time Pro-Bowl DE Trey Hendrickson has also requested to be traded from Cincinnati. Hendrickson is due to make $15 million this season, and is looking for more long-term security than Cincinnati has been willing to offer.

Burrows is 55 mill a year I think, Chase contract coming next year and the way they're paying wrs, he'll probably demand north of 30 mill per. That's a third of salary cap. They need to keep Hendrckson more than Higgins and I'm sure he's looking north of 20 mill. Good luck Bengals, that window is closing fast.

They're idiots if they don't get rid of Higgins for a third immediately and look for a cheap replacement in the next three days.
 
Ya know the Bengals finally get a good squad and cheap *** Mike Brown doesn’t want to pony up. Some things just never change.
They cannot afford to lose these two players.

They are gonna lose at least one, one way or another, as Kstilley explained.
You have a franchise QB and WR tandem, you better get what you can from the rest of the talent you can't afford
 
Our high money makers are on defense, that pony show will have to change pretty soon. If we get a QB out of Fields, he will begin to bring the offense closer to the cost of the defense,,,,,,,,,,,,, This gap can’t last forever.

berm, you best hope it’s not a foggy Christmas Eve………..

I don’t think Rudolf the “red nose” will be coming to town for awhile.

its like a log jam broke in Bungleland after they announced that Chase's 5th year option was picked up. They need to move a couple names, fast or other teams will fill needs via the draft.

This should be fun!

And they might. Or, they just might win the division and the whole damn thing. Too early to say one way or the other. Lost of stuff is going to happen between now and game one.
 
Someone mentioned a gap and I thought of the chive website.
 
Higgins will be gone nest year anyway..
I would look to trade him now and sign Hendrixson...

Welcome to the world of dealing with upper level talent and the NFL salary cap Cincinnati!

It aint so easy to keep a very good squad together...is it!
