Tee Higgins could be traded for draft pick, per report
Tee Higgins has over 3,000 receiving yards in 3 seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. There’s a chance he could be playing Year 4 elsewhere.
According to a report from The Athletic, the Bengals could look at trading Higgins for a draft pick if the 2 parties are unable to come to a long-term agreement. Higgins, drafted No. 33 overall in 2020 after an All-ACC season at Clemson, is entering the final year of his 4-season rookie contract.
Report: Bengals WR Tee Higgins “could be traded” for a top draft pick if the team can’t reach an extension with him and the money he’s asking for is “outrageous”, per @TheAtlantic
