Omar Khan is considering acquiring Cincinnati Bengals wideout Tee Higgins after acquiring Russell Wilson and Justin Fields for less than $4.5 million. The Cincinnati Bengals Cincinnati Bengals have discussed trading for Higgins, but questions remain about the cost, contract, and potential division rivalry.
Pittsburgh is interested in acquiring veteran wideout Higgins to replace Diontae Johnson. The Steelers are linked to Tyler Boyd, but financial issues have slowed negotiations. Higgins is considered a No. 1 receiver, but acquiring him would complicate matters with George Pickens, the current No. 1 wideout.
Pittsburgh’s concern over Cincinnati trading Higgins to a division rival is valid, as the Bengals value Higgins and want to keep him on their roster for the 2024 season. Cincinnati won’t consider trading Higgins unless offered an unrestricted offer, possibly including a first-round pick.
The Steelers may trade their 20th overall pick for Higgins, giving Cincinnati the 18th and 20th overall picks. However, Higgins’ contract expectations and Bengals’ resistance to deal him to a division rival make this deal unlikely.
