Star wide receiver Tee Higgins and the Cincinnati Bengals failed to reach an extension before the franchise tag deadline, meaning Higgins will play out the 2024 season on a one-year, $21.8 million deal. Despite requesting a trade in March, Higgins is expected at training camp on July 23. With impressive stats in his first four NFL seasons, Higgins is a top target for quarterback Joe Burrow. The Bengals, facing hefty contracts for Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase, may be open to trading Higgins. Potential landing spots include Washington, New England, the New York Jets, and the Los Angeles Chargers. Each team has a need for a top receiver and the financial flexibility to make a move. Acquiring Higgins could accelerate a team's development, provide veteran leadership, and set them up for success in both the short and long term.
