The 25-year-old receiver has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/H\/HiggTe00.htm\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">three seasons of 900 receiving yards<\/a> or more, and will be value added to any team that can land him. With news of the trade, who should be in the market?<\/p>\n<p><em>Note: With the expectation of a long term deal being part of the trade, a day two pick is the expected compensation.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Five Teams That Should Trade for Tee Higgins<\/h2>\n<h3>Carolina Panthers<\/h3>\n<p>This is a layup. Bryce Young needs all the help he can get, and the Panthers don&#8217;t have an easy avenue to a true X receiver. Rather than rolling the dice with a rookie, they can add a proven receiver to assist on the outside. The Panthers can take advantage of the rookie pay scale and add a dynamic playmaker. Don&#8217;t overthink it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/12\/07\/2024-nfl-draft-trey-benson\/\" target=\"_self\"><em>Possible Panthers Running Back Draft Target<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Jacksonville Jaguars<\/h3>\n<p>Calvin Ridley is solid. But would they rather re-sign him, or reunite Trevor Lawrence with a college sweetheart? While they were together in Clemson, Higgins was a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sports-reference.com\/cfb\/players\/tee-higgins-1.html\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">1000-yard receiver<\/a> and it&#8217;ll be like getting back on your favorite bike. If the price is right, a Tee Higgins trade would add some serious firepower to Duval country.<\/p>\n<h3>New York Giants<\/h3>\n<p>The tallest wide receiver on the Giants right now is Isaiah Hodgins (unless we count Bryce Ford-Wheaton). Neither has the route running ability or juice that Higgins has after years of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2022\/11\/20\/pittsburgh-steelers-secondary-grades-week-11\/\" target=\"_self\">torching the AFC North<\/a>. Whether or not Daniel Jones is the long-term solution, they have plenty of room to get a deal done. More importantly, there&#8217;s no rivalry or competitive issue with making a deal with Cincinnati which will be enticing for their front office.<\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;[tgdcta items=\\&quot;1\\&quot; id=\\&quot;170468\\&quot;]&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:577,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;9&quot;:2,&quot;12&quot;:0}\">[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170468&#8243;]<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0New York Jets<\/h3>\n<p>Garrett Wilson is everything you want in a 1a. Shifty after the catch, a monster who commands a huge target share and young enough to be a building block for years to come. If they can find a way to get Higgins to the big apple, he&#8217;d get to play for a championship while catching passes from Rodgers and would be a part of the team&#8217;s future in the years after.<\/p>\n<h3>Los Angeles Rams<\/h3>\n<p>Is there a team in the league with a bigger history of not caring about early draft picks? If they can link Higgins up with Stafford, the Rams would have three elite receivers and can make another run at a Super Bowl. All things considered, Kupp isn&#8217;t a spring chicken, and Higgins skillset complements what Puka Nacua brings to the team.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=UQ4XeawhX5E\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watch &#8211; Fastest Receiver in Combine History Film Study<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Honorable Mentions<\/h3>\n<p>The Kansas City Chiefs make a ton of sense on their end. Unfortunately for NFL fans, there&#8217;s almost no way the Bengals would send a stud receiver to one of their biggest rivals. It&#8217;s the same reason they&#8217;re unlikely to send him to Baltimore. As fun as a Lamar Jackson team with two absolute stud receivers would be. The New Orleans Saints and Los Angeles Chargers should be in the mix, but they&#8217;re too busy trying to get under the cap to try and make a move for Higgins right now. The Las Vegas Raiders have a history of being aggressive here, but seeking a Tee Higgins trade isn&#8217;t what they need right now. They should be trying to find an upgrade under center first.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: Syndication: The Enquirer<\/p>\n<p><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;[tgdcta items=\\&quot;1\\&quot; id=\\&quot;170466\\&quot;]&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:577,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;9&quot;:2,&quot;12&quot;:0}\">[tgdcta items=&#8221;1&#8243; id=&#8221;170466&#8243;]<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tee Higgins has requested a trade from the Cincinnati Bengals.
