The #Cardinals also requested an interview with #Bengals OC Brian Callahan for their head coaching job, per source. Callahan also is a candidate for the #Colts job.
KC “loses OBJ to Cincy”
OBJ is a huge part of Burrow having a down year, which in turn, causes Higgins to have a down year.
KC signs Higgins on a solid FA deal when his market adjusts to his individual skill set versus a statistical prospective.
I’d be happy with Higgins in the 20m aav range, but I also know that’s not highly likely to happen. [Reply]

To me it seems more likely and preferable that we trade up in the draft for a WR. Seems more like our style, anyway. [Reply]

I think that’s the consensus after 2 games…but I think once the playoffs get here, we’re going to be looking at this WR group differently and will have shifted to wanting to move wayy up for a LT.

David Mulugheta is the agent for Jesse Bates as well and the Bengals weren't willing to pay him the bank he wanted. [Reply]

You have really weird dreams. The bolded part isn't even remotely true. [Reply]

Yep, I would think he demands top dollar (aka $30M per year) and walks out the door. Guess we'll see if anyone is willing to pay him what he wants. If the Cincy offense continues struggling the rest of the year, I'm not sure Higgins will find the strong $$$$ market he's hoping to find with other teams. [Reply]

And that OT is going to be Joe Alt.
Haven’t looked it up, but is he the son of a former Chiefs legend?? [Reply]
