The Cincinnati Bengals haven’t had the season they hoped they’d have.
Standing on a 4-7 record, the playoffs are still possible, but not as strong as they would like.
On top of that, they still have to deal with the Tee Higgins situation.
Higgins requested to be traded before the start of the season, as the team reportedly didn’t even try to sign him to a contract extension after placing him under the franchise tag.
With that in mind, The 33rd Team projected the five likeliest destinations for him next season.

The Washington Commanders make perfect sense, considering they lack a reliable pass-catcher in their wide receiver corps opposite Terry McLaurin.
They have the money and will want to give Jayden Daniels another weapon.
Then, they have the Bengals.
There’s always the possibility that they will sort things out, although it seems unlikely, especially considering they still need to pay Ja’Marr Chase.
They also have the New England Patriots, although he might not be interested in joining a non-contending team.
Drake Maye needs more weapons, and the Patriots desperately need to add talent all over the roster.
Then, they have the Los Angeles Chargers.
Ladd McConkey looks like a star in the making, but the team needs to add another reliable option for Justin Herbert, especially since Quentin Johnston has not lived up to the hype.
Last but not least, they have the Las Vegas Raiders.
Other than Brock Bowers, this team has nothing going on for them on offense, so there’s an obvious need for a pass-catching specialist like Higgins.
