The Kansas City Chiefs are currently considered favorites to trade for Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, a star who could potentially be worth around $90 million over a four-year contract. Higgins, who has consistently been a standout performer for Cincinnati with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, is nearing the end of his rookie deal. The Bengals may look to move him before the trade deadline if they find it difficult to afford his market value, especially after signing quarterback Joe Burrow to a massive extension.
The Chiefs, despite having limited cap space, could restructure contracts to make room for Higgins, who would add size and playmaking ability to their receiving corps. Given their need for a dynamic wide receiver and Higgins’ compatibility with their offense, Kansas City is seen as a potential landing spot if Cincinnati decides to part ways with him before the October 31 deadline.
