The Bengals may want to try to keep Tee Higgins along with extending Ja’Marr Chase with a lucrative contract, but Higgins might end up being too expensive. Burden can be a strong cheap contingency to play well off Chase as an immediate impact No. 2.

Cincinnati Bengals face plenty of big questions this offseason, but Tee Higgins' future may be at the top of that list. Will they sign him to a long-term deal with Ja'Marr Chase and Trey Hendrickson needing new contracts?

During an appearance on the “Up And Adams Show” with Kay Adams, the coincidentally named Adams said, “I heard they’ve been looking into Tee Higgins” while praising the Bengals’ wideout.

“If the Cincinnati Bengals let wide receiver Tee Higgins walk in free agency, the Chargers should overpay for his services,” Manzano wrote. “Higgins’s skill set would complement McConkey and give Herbert a dynamic one-two punch to help avoid more postseason meltdowns in the future.”

If the Cincinnati Bengals need to replace wide receiver Tee Higgins, who is a free agent this offseason, one NFL analyst believes the team will take a Missouri wide receiver in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
