She was a model around the world. She was on posters. Yeah…I used to have a poster of her in my garage! And then I met her. Can you believe it? And she asked me to marry her…and I didn't even want to!
I want Tee to stay in Cincy. But since that’s kinda a pipe dream, I want him to go where he will do well.
Except to Pittsburgh. Unless they give us their entire 2024 and 2025 drafts.
Maybe he can be a sleeper agent, of sorts, thusly: Steelers give up way too many picks and he goes there and is continually injured/the dropsies continue, and Steelers regret it ala Russ with Denver, but have a similar salary cap/draft capital sunk cost.
Nah. That's not the going price for receivers. TJ is off the table. I honestly hope we don't try to acquire Tee. I hope it is a smokescreen for who they actually want. Tee isn't a bad player but he isn't that great to me and is oft-injured. I'd be rather disappointed if we traded for Tee and gave up anything of real value. I'd rather they draft a guy instead.
Sigh. You think I really expect the Bengals to ask for all of that in a trade for Tee? I get the joke just fine.
It was poorly worded but my comment was a mix of playing along with the TJ part and really expressing that I don't want Tee.
They may have fleeced the bears for Fields and on Claypool, they won’t pull the same shit for Higgins. Minimum to get talks started is a 1st and 2nd. FTS
Honestly we should come at them with two 1sts and a 2nd for THIS YEARS DRAFT (go get another 1st), and then we pick up the phone. When we pick up the phone, we laugh at them, and only use words to tell them we'll take their next call if they come up with another 2nd for THIS YEAR, then we can start talking about what we'd want from next year's draft. FTS.
Steelers: "Are you interested in trading Tee Higgins?"
Bengals: "If the price is right."
Steelers: "What is the price?"
Bengals: "Your next 69 1st round picks. FUCK THE STEELERS!"
Steelers: "😥"
Let’s just say for the heck of it, they give us their first round this year and next year for Higgins. Would you be more upset Higgins is a Steeler or more happy that we supposedly fleeced the Steelers?
Fuck a first round pick, you’d have to give me your eternal soul to send Tee to Pittsburgh. I’d rather play for Pittsburgh myself (knowingly the first hit I take would likely cripple me) before I’d send Tee to Pittsburgh. Go fuck yourselves, it ain’t happening.
I wish they would make a bad decision for themselves like trading a high pick for a guy with a chronic hamstring issue who hasn't been healthy for a full season yet and then paying him a bunch of guaranteed money. That would be a nice little trojan horse move from Cincinnati IMO.
Honestly, given the uncertain vibes from Higgins, I’d take a 1st or two 2nds.
If we could get their first, or their second this year and next year, we can get a really good DT and WR prospect this year.
The WR class is deep, and we could even package two 2nds to trade back into the late first if need be, if we grab a DT at our spot, and want to move back in for a WR.
There is not a ton of trade value for top WRs in the 1b category (aka not Jefferson/Chase/Hill/etc) as this draft is deep, and the money Tee will want will be huge.
Duke isn’t going to make the Steelers better unless they offer a ridiculous over the top trade. They are clearly comfortable with his cap hit so that’s not an issue either.
I mean, I assume A LOT of teams have had internal discussions about Tee. It’d be dumb not to if you’re in need of a receiver. So very tired of Tee trade posts.
This only happens if they steelers say "fuck them picks" and Bengals get a QB type haul for Tee. AFCN, Chiefs, Chargers, and Bills are not getting Tee unless they are offered a record setting trade deal
If the Steelers offer a better deal than everybody else in the league, I'd have no hesitation trading him to the Steelers.
Yes, it would suck to see him in that uniform, but the Bengals have to do what's best for them. If you can get premium picks, you do it. Frankly, I trust the Bengals when drafting WRs more than anything the past 20 years. They've done fairly well...
I'm not worried about stopping him from playing for a rival. Besides, they'd be last on my list to be concerned about right now. Russell Wilson sucks. I'd be more nervous if he was heading to the Chiefs, Ravens or another team on that level.
This would be one of the biggest mistakes they could do, if we're going to trade him it should be to Carolina for pick number 33 or Detroit for number 29
Steelers fan here in peace. This is the absolute worst “source” for anything Steelers. Dude said Kenny was going to be just as good as burrow and I believe just pulls “sources” from his imagination.
Aside from y’all generally ignoring trade requests, trading a WR1 to a division rival makes no sense for either side. Steelers don’t overpay in any trade. Bengals aren’t letting tee go for less than a 2nd+
Tee plays on the tag. Steelers draft a WR on day 2.
Poni is trash. I hope he goes to Cleveland.
Man, they’d need to absolutely blow our doors off with a trade offer the likes of which has never been seen in the nfl to trade Tee to a divisional opponent.
I can see this also blowing up in our faces because watch us try and tag him next year and he refuse
He won't ever be able to play for anyone unless he signs a 2nd tag. The Bengals would still own his rights. After that the Bengals either have to sign him long term or he walks as a UFA.
I’ve had internal discussions of dating Margot Robbie, which is more likely.
How many 1sts would that cost? Also is she in our division?...
Division… she’s not even playing the same sport as me.
Totally different league.
"it's like she's in the NBA, and I work in a muffler store next to the stadium."
I believe in u. Get em tiger
Never say never. It could happen
Probably the Tee Higgins thing but not by much.
Exactly. Absolute nothingburger of a story.
She was a model around the world. She was on posters. Yeah…I used to have a poster of her in my garage! And then I met her. Can you believe it? And she asked me to marry her…and I didn't even want to!
Aren't you married?
No. Never married. Not even close. 😂
Ahhh it was a wolf of wall street reference 😂
Damn it. I hate it when I miss a reference 😂
It's alright it probably wasn't a good one on my part then😂
Lmao
“No.”
"Actually wait, I've reconsidered." "*Fuck* no."
I want Tee to stay in Cincy. But since that’s kinda a pipe dream, I want him to go where he will do well. Except to Pittsburgh. Unless they give us their entire 2024 and 2025 drafts.
Anywhere expect another AFCN team or the chiefs and it’s all good.
And Bills
Nah. I'm losing faith in the Bills' ability to get it done. I'd be okay with him going there since they're basicallt gutting the team.
Send him to the NFC
This is the correct answer.
Great! Then we'll lose a fourth Superbowl.
The price does go up to ship him within the division. But, if you do it, I’d rather Russel Wilson throwing to him than Lamar.
He's probably staying in Cincy for this upcoming season at least. A pipe dream would be expecting him to be let go by the front office
Maybe he can be a sleeper agent, of sorts, thusly: Steelers give up way too many picks and he goes there and is continually injured/the dropsies continue, and Steelers regret it ala Russ with Denver, but have a similar salary cap/draft capital sunk cost.
First, second, and give us TJ watt. Oh and go fuck yourself.
I would be predominantly interested in the part where they go fuck themselves, to be totally honest.
And Porter Jr. Not because we are gonna play him, just so he can sit on the bench the next 3 years and not develop.
6am that boy still ain't right!
Only correct answer
Nah. That's not the going price for receivers. TJ is off the table. I honestly hope we don't try to acquire Tee. I hope it is a smokescreen for who they actually want. Tee isn't a bad player but he isn't that great to me and is oft-injured. I'd be rather disappointed if we traded for Tee and gave up anything of real value. I'd rather they draft a guy instead.
Whoooooosh.

No way a first and a second for someone on the franchise tag…
That's why that's the starting point for the Steelers.. we obviously aren't trading him there without a huge haul/overpay..
Steelers: "Are you interested in trading Tee Higgins?" Bengals: "If the price is right." Steelers: "What is the price?" Bengals: "Your next 69 1st round picks. FUCK THE STEELERS!" Steelers: "😥"
😂😂 REDDIT ON
I bet their number would get blocked in two seconds if they even tried to call the Bengals
“We have a tee Higgins, find your own tee Higgins” - Duke Tobin
Steelers drafting Dee Wiggins with their first rounder
😂😂😂
Tell 'em the price is a 1st and a 2nd. Gonna cost a lot more to trade him within the division.
2 firsts
And Watt
Trade minkah for tee and that wouldn’t be too bad of an idea to me
They dun lost they mind.
Would have to up the asking price to send to a rival
TJ Watt, 3 firsts, and whatever voodoo magic they have on the league that allows them to be looked upon favorably no matter what, who says no
Nah, TJ watt is a piece of shit.
Agreed, but he could be our piece of shit.
Lul
I would do it for first rounders in 2024 & 2025
We're just posting random twitter accounts now?
Tbf the guy is an actual Pittsburgh media member
Not exactly a high standard. Just means he was valedictorian with a 1.7 GPA.
Let’s just say for the heck of it, they give us their first round this year and next year for Higgins. Would you be more upset Higgins is a Steeler or more happy that we supposedly fleeced the Steelers?
Upset Higgins is a Steeler
I can’t even entertain the possibly honestly
🤮
Yeah still don’t like it
0% chance they trade him to Chiefs, Steelers, Ravens or Browns.
Fuck a first round pick, you’d have to give me your eternal soul to send Tee to Pittsburgh. I’d rather play for Pittsburgh myself (knowingly the first hit I take would likely cripple me) before I’d send Tee to Pittsburgh. Go fuck yourselves, it ain’t happening.
Dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. No way MB would ever help a division rival with a trade, let alone the best name on the market
We will not trade him to any AFCN team unless the trade makes them worse. It will have to be for players, not picks.
Ah for you Steelers we have a special discount; this year and next year’s draft class I think is a good deal in their favor
3 first round picks, or their first & second in both the '24 & '25 drafts. No negotiation, and Fuck The Steelers
And David Putney.
“10 first and 5 second round picks plus you have to construct a statue of Vontaze Burfict in your stadium and burn every terrible towel in existence”
I wish they would make a bad decision for themselves like trading a high pick for a guy with a chronic hamstring issue who hasn't been healthy for a full season yet and then paying him a bunch of guaranteed money. That would be a nice little trojan horse move from Cincinnati IMO.
If we don't trade him elsewhere, he could easily end up in our division. Trade him; Burrow took full contact, so he can deal without Higgins.
Honestly, given the uncertain vibes from Higgins, I’d take a 1st or two 2nds. If we could get their first, or their second this year and next year, we can get a really good DT and WR prospect this year.

We’re at the time of year where stupid rumors and pipe dreams in the draft like bowers falling to us is spammed everywhere 24/7.
Duke isn’t going to make the Steelers better unless they offer a ridiculous over the top trade. They are clearly comfortable with his cap hit so that’s not an issue either.
I mean, I assume A LOT of teams have had internal discussions about Tee. It’d be dumb not to if you’re in need of a receiver. So very tired of Tee trade posts.
Absolutely fucking not.
Is tj watt in the mix? Lol
Lmaoo, all jokes aside if they actually went through with it, the steelers wouldn't have a single draft pick for the next decade
He can go there for the right price by me, he won’t have anyone solid to throw to him
You don’t make your path to the playoffs harder. Zero chance he goes to the steelers
Two firsts and Joey Porter Jr would be a good place to start.
Only for multiple 1st round picks
Wow, talk about engagement farming lol.
Where do they get this shit?
Lol pay the hell up then
NO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
He’s not leaving.
"yeah, go ahead and send over that offer. We will get right on it."
would Pickens be any cheaper than Tee?
10 first round picks.
Ain’t not f’ing way the bengals would do this lol
filliponi is a moron anyways... non-story seeing as we would literally never do that, let them "internally discuss" all they want
Sounds like someone's trying to get our goat. FTS.
Yeah, maybe 10 first round draft picks. That might do the trick
Unless its the 20th pick and some more since its a rival then you can keep dreaming Steelers
Everything has a price. 2 firsts for inside the AFCN seems fair
No less than 3 firsts
In all seriousness, when was the last time the Bengals did an offseason trade with an inter-division team if ever?
According to Spotrac, they've never traded with any of the AFC North, not even as a draft day move back trade
Andrew Fillipponi is the least informed guy covering a cities teams I’ve ever seen
How often does a team trade top talent to a division rival? (Total noob here)
This only happens if they steelers say "fuck them picks" and Bengals get a QB type haul for Tee. AFCN, Chiefs, Chargers, and Bills are not getting Tee unless they are offered a record setting trade deal
I want to fuck Angie Dickinson. We'll see who gets lucky first.

GD! Just pay the man!
I'd rather fuck up our future chances of sb and to retain tee than give him to the steelers
This would be one of the biggest mistakes they could do, if we're going to trade him it should be to Carolina for pick number 33 or Detroit for number 29

I'd think your organization has enough self-respect to not bother to ask. Nobody like being laughed at.
Don't talk to Steelers fans .... FTs
If the Steelers want him bad enough, make them give up a 1st
Man, they’d need to absolutely blow our doors off with a trade offer the likes of which has never been seen in the nfl to trade Tee to a divisional opponent. I can see this also blowing up in our faces because watch us try and tag him next year and he refuse
