Bengals Face Challenging Offseason Decisions With Rising Costs of Key Free Agents
-
Projected market values for key Bengals free agents like Tee Higgins, Jonah Williams, and Jessie Bates are very high, potentially over $10 million per year.
-
Tyler Boyd's projected $8.7 million per year as a WR2 seems reasonable based on past production as a WR1.
-
D.J. Reader's value is harder to predict after missing 2022 with a torn quad, he may need to take a prove-it deal.
-
Whether teams view Jonah Williams as a left or right tackle will greatly impact his market value.
-
Tee Higgins' projected $18.6 million per year feels low for a team seeing him as a WR1, so tagging or extending him will be tricky.
