NFL insider weighs in on what Bengals want in a Tee Higgins trade and makes a prediction

Tee Higgins has requested a trade. Will the Cincinnati Bengals honor that request?

NFL reporter Jordan Schultz does not believe so.

In a segment on FOX Sports, Schultz discussed what led to Higgins requesting a trade from the Bengals, what their asking price is, and what ultimately happens.

Higgins obviously wants a long-term extension and to be one of the NFL’s highest-paid wide receivers, something the Bengals aren’t willing to do with Ja’Marr Chase’s impending extension, so that’s where the issue starts.

In terms of a trade package, Schultz said it was his “understanding” that it would take a second or third-round NFL Draft pick to get Higgins.
