Congrats to Tee Higgins

2024 is the biggest salary of his deal at 55M, after that it steadily drops down into the mid 40s for the rest of the deal. So yes, Burrow took a page from Brady and left a significant amount of money on the table in the hopes his team can't put it to good use elsewhere 

He can scrape by on 40 per year.  Ha.

Tee Higgins ability to float and levitate when the ball is in the air is unreal, fun to watch at OR

Lots of fun to watch him in the option offense as the only receiver split out wide. Just goes to show you a bad coach can’t kill great talent.

Yeah, I’m sure he’s wanting to be the #1 option somewhere. That’s just not gonna happen in Cincy.

I'm sure he does, although I think he was mainly looking for a longer-term deal with the Bengals, not a one-year franchise tag/stop-gap option. Lot of chatter that he ends up in NE when it's all said and done.

Still trying to get his career catch count up after those years of Joker Joe changing to the option at Oak Ridge.

Did you see what we were working with @ QB back in those days? I probably would’ve gone to the option too. The cupboard was bare to the bone, except that one year Johnny Stewart started at QB. Actually, I probably would’ve put Tee at QB so the ball would’ve been in his hands at ALL times.

I heard that it was mentioned and Benanti was against it

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
