Report: Bengals WR Tee Higgins "could be traded" for a top draft pick if the team can't reach an extension with him and the money he's asking for is "outrageous", per @TheAtlantic

And maybe why the nfl doesn’t seem eager to promote the chiefs. The bills window gets real tough real fast. The bengals have maybe 1-2 more years before the balloon pops but in the meantime they’ll start bleeding players to prep for it.
Meanwhile, the chiefs are going to the Super Bowl (and will win) in year 1 of the rebuild. All other teams are dipping and we are only going to get WAY better. [Reply]
Off him what Hill was offered. Never know, he might want to play with better QB for that amount of money. When he becomes a FA, but do not trade for him, our draft picks need to stay with us. [Reply]

Bengals WR Tee Higgins "could be traded" for a top draft pick if the team can't reach an extension with him and if during the negotiation the money he's asking for is "outrageous"
Or…
Bengals WR Tee Higgins "could be traded" for a top draft pick if the team can't reach an extension with him, and by the way the money he's currently asking for is "outrageous"
Pretty sure it's the first one. Thread title fail. [Reply]

I am falling down a bastard rabbit hole of it's rigged. The sports shows steer betting dollars of the too lazy to research (80+% of bets). [Reply]
Reads more to me like they're preparing for the possibility to trade him IF he demands an "outrageous" bag, not that he's already demanding it. [Reply]
Higgins agent is David Mulugheta. Agent for Bates and also the agent for Watson and Ramsay. Makes a lot more sense now why the Bengals may just get the pick and move on early, this dude is about as ruthless as they come in getting his clients what they want, whether with the current team or getting them moved to somewhere else that'll give it to them.

Yeah, but you know he'll want the mega contract. NFL stands for not for long and these guys want to bank as much as possible in the short time they have in the league. I honestly can't blame them [Reply]

Yeah... when they've got two other great ones besides Higgins, why wouldn't you take the pick(s)? [Reply]
Paying a guy market salary AND giving up a first round draft choice doesn't usually work out well. If there is a team willing to do that, if you're the Bengals, you immediately pull the trigger. [Reply]

Then I had sex with her.
Note: It's possible I didn't actually have sex with her
One of the ways the Patriots were able to win so much was signing free agents for contracts less than could have been had elsewhere. It's time for the Chiefs to flex some of that muscle. [Reply]
