Looking at the list of 2024 free agent wide receivers, Tee Higgins’ name might be the flashiest of the bunch. Higgins is still only 25 years old and has shown glimpses of WR1 talent in Cincinnati while working as the WR2 behind Ja’Marr Chase. He’s shined on the Super Bowl stage, filled up the box score, and made countless highlight-reel catches with his alluring set of physical traits.
Higgins is particularly interesting for the New York Jets because they would be projecting him into the same role behind Garrett Wilson. Unlike other teams who might be betting on Higgins’ ability to handle a jump to WR1 duties, the Jets would be asking him to play a role he’s already proven he can succeed in.
