The Cincinnati Bengals are stuck in a situation currently with wide receiver Tee Higgins and his representatives. Higgins has requested a trade based on the report that there haven’t been attempts at long-term contract talks since before last season.
The question then becomes if the Bengals will attempt to reengage in those talks after the wide receiver market has solidified, stand their ground, and make Higgins play on the franchise tag, or trade the talented wide receiver.
Well, if they go with the latter, then it sounds like one potential partner may be out for now in the Carolina Panthers.
