Tee Higgins Requests Trade From Bengals
Bengals Star to Play Out Franchise Tag
Potential Teams That Could Trade for WR Higgins
Tee Higgins has requested a trade from the Cincinnati Bengals, according to sources. The news comes as the NFL's 2024 deadline for teams to extend franchise-tagged players approaches. Higgins is currently playing under the franchise tag, which means he is signed to a one-year contract worth $10.9 million.
Higgins has been one of the Bengals' most productive receivers in recent years. In 2023, he caught 74 passes for 1,029 yards and seven touchdowns. He also had a key role in the Bengals' run to the Super Bowl, catching six passes for 103 yards in the AFC Championship Game.
Higgins has reportedly requested a trade because he wants to be paid like a top receiver. He is currently one of the lowest-paid receivers in the NFL, and he believes he deserves to be compensated more for his production.
The Bengals have said that they are not interested in trading Higgins. However, if Higgins continues to push for a trade, it is possible that the Bengals could eventually give in.
There are a number of teams that could be interested in trading for Higgins. Some of the potential landing spots for Higgins include the Buffalo Bills, the Green Bay Packers, and the Kansas City Chiefs.
