Tee Higgins Responds To Reports Claiming The Bengals Might Trade Him Away
Tee Higgins has addressed rumors regarding the possibility of his being traded. The talented wide receiver is in the final year of his four-year, $8.6 million rookie contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, and he is eligible for an extension with the team.
Given the Bengals' pressing focus on securing an extension for quarterback Joe Burrow and the future extension for wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, it's not surprising that Higgins is being considered as a potential trade target for other teams. Drafted in the second round at No. 33 overall, Higgins has quickly established himself as one of the top wide receivers in the NFL, alongside the highly-regarded Ja'Marr Chase.
According to a report by The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr., the Bengals may opt to trade Higgins for a top draft pick and select a top wide receiver, assuming they are unable to reach an agreement on an extension. However, there is currently no indication that the team and Higgins will not reach a mutual agreement, unless his contract demands are deemed excessive.
The possibility of a trade has generated significant buzz, with many fans hoping that the Chicago Bears will acquire the talented wideout.
