There\u2019s no other way to put it: the Cincinnati Bengals were a major disappointment in 2023. They finished last in the AFC North at 9-8 and missed the playoffs for just the second time in the Joe Burrow era. While several key players were injured last year, optimism renewed once the 2024 NFL season kicked off.<\/p>\n

Yet, with more injuries playing a factor, the Bengals are once again underachieving, sitting at 4-6, in third place of their division. While there are seven games left to turn the season around, it\u2019s possible this is one of the most talented rosters Burrow will ever get to play with in the NFL.<\/p>\n

One concern that\u2019s been hanging over the Cincinnati Bengals\u2019 franchise is what the team will do with Tee Higgins. Already playing under the franchise tag this season, the star receiver will once again become a free agent this offseason.<\/p>\n

While the Bengals could theoretically tag him for one more season, Cincinnati is not expected to allocate so much money to one position group, especially since Ja\u2019Marr Chase will be looking to reset the market as the highest-paid receiver.<\/p>\n

So, it\u2019s not exactly shocking to see one NFL insider, ESPN\u2019s Jeremy Fowler, predicting that there\u2019s no way Higgins returns to the Bengals for another season in 2025.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThere\u2019s little to no chance Higgins is in Cincinnati beyond 2024. People I\u2019ve talked to feel pretty strongly about that, barring a major surprise. A second franchise tag would cost the Bengals around $26.2 million on a one-year rental. Higgins wanted out of Cincinnati last offseason, and the Bengals will likely allocate resources for a Chase contract. Higgins will have a strong market because of the number of receiver-needy teams and Higgins\u2019 WR1 traits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Higgins will be the best receiver available in a world where having a game-breaking playmaker can transform an average offense into a great one. For teams with extra cap space who need another pass catcher, but either doesn\u2019t want to risk missing out on their top draft target or doesn\u2019t have the patience to wait for potential to turn into production, signing Higgins will be a very attractive option this offseason.<\/p>\n
