According to The Athletic’s Paul Dehner Jr., Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tee Higgins could be a potential trade candidate this offseason. Higgins is going to be a free agent in 2024, which means this is the final year that the Bengals hold his rights.
Cincinnati has been well-documented as a fairly “cash-poor” NFL team, on the relative scale of football franchises, and they also have extensions for quarterback Joe Burrow and fellow receiver Ja’Marr Chase to think about in the near future. If the Bengals don’t want to commit all of that money to just their offensive passing game, could they move on from Higgins for a high draft pick?
