CINCINNATI — PFF's Dalton Wasserman dropped one free agent that each NFL team needs to keep this offseason and Tee Higgins took the Bengals' top spot. Higgins is coming off a strong campaign with 73 catches for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns (career-high) playing on the franchise tag.

The Cincinnati Bengals could solve their Tee Higgins problem for a fraction of the price in the upcoming draft.

Unfortunately, the Cincinnati Bengals missed the playoffs in 2024 for the second straight season. However, the team ended the year on fire, winning five consecutive games. Furthermore, the Bengals won eight of their final 12 games after starting the season with a 1-4 record.

Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins was ranked as the NFL's top free agent in a list released by USA Today on Wednesday.

The Cincinnati Bengals doing a big-money contract extension with Ja’Marr Chase seems an obvious event for the franchise this offseason. Fresh off the team’s botching of it before last season, to the point reports said Chase felt misled, the star wideout went and won a triple crown, only upping his value.

The Cincinnati Bengals may have a void to fill in their wide receivers room during the 2025 offseason, as Tee Higgins is hitting free agency and isn't guaranteed to return. With that in mind, one NFL analyst has the Bengals taking a wide receiver in Round 1 of the 2025 NFL Draft.

The Bengals may want to try to keep Tee Higgins along with extending Ja’Marr Chase with a lucrative contract, but Higgins might end up being too expensive. Burden can be a strong cheap contingency to play well off Chase as an immediate impact No. 2.

An NFL analyst believes the Cincinnati Bengals should trade for a superstar playmaker to replace Tee Higgins this offseason.

The Cincinnati Bengals have some major names and 20-plus overall heading to the 2025 free agency open market this offseason. Tee Higgins is the biggest name and has the most mystery around it. But other notables such as B.J. Hill, Mike Hilton and Mike Gesicki — to name a few — are intriguing in their own right.

The 25-year-old switched agents midseason and is now represented by Rocky Arceneaux, the same agent that Ja'Marr Chase has been with for the past four seasons. Negotiating with Arceneaux moving forward is expected to be much more reasonable.

The Chicago Bears need a really good wide receiver. Really good wide receiver Tee Higgins needs a new contract. Match made in football heaven, right? Maybe.
