The most prominent example right now is ESPN’s Aaron Schatz, whose set of bold offseason projections has the Buffalo Bills blowing the Bengals “out of the water” with a Higgins trade offer:
It's likely Cincinnati places the franchise tag on the wide receiver, but if they don't, would the Patriots be willing to offer him a big contract?
• The Cincinnati Bengals have been tight-lipped on their intentions to franchise tag Tee Higgins, but it’d make some sense to go through with it based on the number and the market.
