Not sure what they'd get for him.
30 years old - but dude played the last 2 years like an absolute beast. I think he finished 2nd in 2024 DPOY voting.

Would save $16m on the cap if they move him.
I'd be happy with a 2nd rounder. I'm thinking they get a 3rd.

It makes sense. If this team is going to be locked into Burrow and Chase and (maybe) Tee long term - they are going to have to have a defense that is made up of dudes playing on their rookie contracts. There just won't be much money left over for defensive veteran studs. I hate seeing Hendrickson go, but signing him to a 4 or 5 year deal wouldn't be wise.

So the Bengals just arent going to field a defensive lineup, eh?
Oh there will be dudes out there. They'll even have jerseys and pads and helmets.
I added an edit to my post. It answers your question on how I feel about the situation.

I think its super short sighted to pay both Chase and Higgins.

Like, we already see what is happening with the defense. I think you're way better off with either Higgins' or Chase's money (obviously they keep Chase) going to a high contract at a key defensive position.

You cant win in this league with no defense... no matter how great your offense is.

As a RIGHT TACKLE...

And then Stanley got hurt and he was the only option at LT... which is when he decided he is ONLY a LT... and a top tier one at that.
I'd either put that fat fuck at guard or trade his ass. Dude is absolute trash.

During my Sunday morning skull-sessions where I'm crunching sports stats - there has been 3 or 4 different occasions where I almost paid for PFF premium content just so I can see how far down the list that piece of shit is.

He's in like 32 local commercials hawking bullshit. He acts about as good as he blocks.
Dude is absolutely in love with himself. Zero self-awareness. He has no idea how terrible he is.

They almost proved that wrong last year. 2 or 3 plays/calls go the other way and they are an 11 win team.

I think the Higgins thing was for Joe. He was vocal about keeping him. But I'm sure Tee is pissed about the tag even though he'll be making $26m. I'm not buying the storyline that they sign both Chase and Tee to long term deals. Tee will be gone after next season.

I've been saying all along that they can't keep everyone. Hendrickson played out of his ass last year and they still had the worst defenses I've ever seen.
