Patriots' trade hopes for Tee Higgins have diminished

nesn.com — March 15, 2025 at 05:01 PM UTC

The New England Patriots' hopes of trading for Tee Higgins have diminished. The Cincinnati Bengals have placed a franchise tag on Higgins and are making progress on contract extensions for both Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase. Chase is expected to receive a contract averaging $40 million per year, while Higgins is projected to earn over $20 million annually. This development reduces the likelihood of a trade. The Bengals are also exploring options to trade edge rusher Trey Hendrickson, which may help their financial situation. The Patriots may need to consider other wide receiver options, as several remain available in the market.
