After requesting a trade, Higgins is enjoying his best season, which should make him the top free agent in '25.
Ben Baby covers the Cincinnati Bengals for ESPN. He joined the company in July 2019. Prior to ESPN, he worked for various newspapers in Texas, most recently at The Dallas Morning News where he covered college sports. He provides daily coverage of the Bengals for ESPN.com, while making appearances on SportsCenter, ESPN's NFL shows and ESPN Radio programs. A native of Grapevine, Texas, he graduated from the University of North Texas with a bachelor's degree in journalism.
In each of the past two offseasons, Higgins has looked to cash in after assuming a bigger role on a team that has played for two AFC championships. Higgins is fourth among members of the 2020 draft class with 3,684 receiving yards.
While Chase was holding in, Higgins worked with the offense to get ready for his fifth season. Throughout the offseason, Walters checked in with Higgins roughly every other week to see how he was doing. Amid those talks, Walters stressed the value of gaining reps before Week 1. "Tee played a great part, starting off the game explosive," Chase said afterward."Came out with strong hands, making a point that he's still one of the top receivers in the game."
"I don't think we get there without Tee," Pitcher said."He's kind of maintained that throughout. We have total trust in him. It's his approach. It's his demeanor in big moments."
