Ahead of the NFL offseason, a rumor has swirled that the Bengals may look to trade Tee Higgins if they can’t reach an agreement on an extension. The wide receiver is entering the final year of his rookie deal, and with Cincinnati needing to pay Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase in the future, Higgins could be a cap casualty.
However, the Bengals vehemently denied that process of thinking. Director of player personnel Duke Tobin told media at the NFL combine that he is not looking to trade Higgins in any way.
“I’m in the business of making the Cincinnati Bengals better, and so trading Tee Higgins is not on my mind. That’s their problem,” Tobin said referring to other teams. “If they want a receiver, go find your own.”
