Bengals’ Bold Move with Tee Higgins
The Buffalo Bills’ wide receiver situation has been a focal point of discussion this offseason, with key players like Amari Cooper and Mack Hollins facing pending free agency while Khalil Shakir recently received an extension. The dynamics in the receiver room seemed uncertain, with questions arising about the future steps the Bills would take after securing Shakir. Would they attempt to retain both Cooper and Hollins, or opt for alternative strategies like delving into free agency, the draft, or potential trades to revamp their receiving corps?
Unexpected Franchise Tag on Tee Higgins
Anticipation was high for the free agency market, especially regarding Bengals receiver Tee Higgins, who was poised to become a sought-after target. The Buffalo Bills were among the teams rumored to be interested in Higgins, envisioning a potential acquisition. However, the Bengals surprised many by choosing to utilize the franchise tag on Higgins, effectively removing him from the free agency pool. While a trade remains a possibility, it appears that Higgins is now likely to remain in Cincinnati for the foreseeable future.
