Tee Higgins wants out.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins reportedly requested a trade from his team on Monday as the NFL offseason comes into full gear.

If he gets his way, he already has a number of quarterbacks that he would like to catch passes from.

Those quarterbacks are Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence, Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud, Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson, or Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen.

As you can see, all of those quarterbacks are in the AFC, with the Ravens being the Bengals’ most hated rival in the AFC North division.

The Bengals placed the franchise tag on Higgins ahead of the start of free agency. He is set to make $21.8 million on the tag. He is clearly not happy about it.

Higgins was at first the top target for Joe Burrow and then later the No. 2 pass-catcher behind Ja’Marr Chase.

He’s caught 257 passes for 3,684 yards and 24 touchdowns in his four NFL seasons.

He struggled with injuries and inefficiency in 2023. however, he is still just 25 years old and his best football should still be ahead of him.
