I actually like the move for them. They know they can field an elite-ish offense even with a bad OL as long as they’ve got weapons like Chase and Higgins.
I’m not sure they can retool the OL in one offseason given this FA market and draft class so they may as well hang on to Higgins for one more year. They have the cap space at the moment and could create more if they’re able to get a backloaded Chase deal done.
I did read reports that they are hoping to be able to sign Higgins long-term, though. I’m not sure if that’s the actual truth or just lip service to appease Burrow but I don’t think inking Higgins to a long-term deal will be the best route.
