Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tee Higgins is the best player available in free agency, and it appears he already knows which team he wants to go to.
Many expect the Cincinnati Bengals to sign Ja’Marr Chase, who is entering the final season of his rookie contract, to a long-term deal and allow Higgins to walk in free agency.
Tee Higgins is clearly speaking with other players during this downtime because his latest actions on social media are pushing him to another AFC team.
Fans have noticed that Higgins has begun following several players from the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Los Angeles Chargers are projected to have $74.4 million in cap space, which is more than enough to sign Higgins.
The Chargers remain in an incredible position from a cap perspective after making the playoffs in the first year of a rebuild.
Adding Higgins could further things along.
The Bengals Have One Option To Keep Tee Higgins On The Team For One More Year
The Bengals star wide receiver is a potential free agent this offseason and will be the most sought-after player on the market should the Bengals decide to let him walk.
Cincinnati has had plenty of chances to make Higgins a priority, and all signs point to a separation.
However, there is a chance he could stay.
The team can tag him again, which would pay the standout wideout $26 million.
Using the franchise tag on Tee Higgins for a second straight season would be far from ideal, but it is the only way for the franchise to have him alongside Chase for what would possibly be one last time to get this team back to the playoffs and make a Super Bowl run.
