Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow stunned onlookers after Monday night’s win over the Dallas Cowboys.
There, Burrow essentially said he’s “confident” the team will get wideout Tee Higgins back this offseason and that he’ll do what it takes to see that happen.
What that exactly means is hard to say. Maybe it means he’ll restructure his contract to make it work. Who knows?
What it does mean, though, is that Burrow is going public with his desire to have Higgins back when he could have easily just thrown out the usual no comment and moved on with the interview.
Considering Burrow has spent the last few weeks talking about the cornerstone guys of the franchise for the long-term, it is now very clear he includes Higgins in that group.
Message sent — and fans love it.
Star QB leveraging his power to get them to keep a highly talented WR. This is probably the only way the front office would be motivated to get a deal done to keep Tee in Cincinnati. https://t.co/ntxaVs0axE

A world where the Bengals keep Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase together with Joe Burrow while completely re-tooling the defensive side of the ball.
That is the world we want to live in. https://t.co/kOmgBDkhFC
