Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow simply isn’t letting up on the pressure directed at his front office over Tee Higgins.
A few days removed from shocking by saying he’s confident the Bengals would get Tee Higgins extended for 2025, Burrow did it again ahead of Week 15.
There, Burrow dropped the following when asked how he would feel if the team didn’t get Higgins back: “I’d be very disappointed in that…Tee is a need.”
Now tack on the fact that on the same day, a report confirmed that Higgins has parted ways with his agent.
While the Bengals would need to perform some cap gymnastics to re-sign Higgins and give Ja’Marr Chase his market-resetting deal, it’s pretty hard to say the timing of all this is a coincidence.
With Burrow recently talking about “core guys” to the team’s long-term future, to top it all off, it seems like the Higgins conversations have taken a turn.
