The buzz around Cincinnati Bengals wideout Tee Higgins is only continuing to grow, which surely everyone understood would happen after the season.
Despite the big miss on Jermaine Burton and other factors pointing to the Bengals keeping Higgins this offseason, literally, nothing will shut down the buzz and chatter until the team can get something done (provided it does, of course).
Case in point, New York Jets star Davante Adams wondering aloud if the Green Bay Packers are going after Higgins.
During an appearance on the “Up And Adams Show” with Kay Adams, the coincidentally named Adams said, “I heard they’ve been looking into Tee Higgins” while praising the Bengals’ wideout.
No word on if Adams (the wide receiver) has actually heard this around the NFL or is merely referring to a recent report from ESPN that said the Packers will target Higgins.
Either way, this Higgins free agency hype isn’t just coming from fans, clearly — even players around the NFL understand that Higgins will be the likely top name on the market…if the Bengals let him get there.
