Earlier this month, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins requested a trade from the team after the Bengals decided to use their franchise tag to keep him on the roster for the 2024 season. But despite the trade request, it doesn’t sound like the Bengals plan to trade him.
During an interview at the NFL’s annual league meetings this week, Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor made the team’s decision on Tee Higgins quite clear, revealing that he expects Higgins to be a part of the team this year.
“We’re excited for Tee to have a great year for us,” Taylor said, via Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer. “We think he’s our best chance to help us win a Super Bowl. I’ve enjoyed working with Tee the last four years, I expect this year to be no different.”
Higgins will not be obligated to show up to the team’s mandatory minicamp or training camp since he is not under contract, and Taylor indicated that the team will handle that situation as it comes.
“Those are their business decisions they make and we’ll continue to prepare the guys that are there and get ready for training camp,” Taylor said. “Excited to have a great year with Tee.”
Regardless, it looks like the Bengals have no plans to trade Tee Higgins.
