The Cincinnati Bengals have been pretty clear about one thing: they're not looking to trade Tee Higgins. Unless, of course, someone blows their socks off with an offer.
ESPN's Bill Barnwell, though, thinks the Arizona Cardinals might want to make a move. He suggests that if the Cardinals pick up Marvin Harrison Jr. with the No. 4 pick and then trade that pick for Higgins, they could build a stellar receiving corps in a single day. Imagine Harrison, Higgins, and Trey McBride as Kyler Murray's top targets. That trio could be a nightmare for defenses, especially in the competitive NFC West.
From the Bengals' perspective, this move could be a smart one. It would free them from the pressure of giving Higgins a huge contract extension, allowing them to focus on locking in Ja'Marr Chase instead. Plus, it would give them another shot at a top-30 pick, which could help strengthen their lines on both offense and defense.
Now, let's be real here. A Higgins trade isn't likely, and it might not even be a good idea. But if someone were to offer a first-round pick, the Bengals might have to stop and think about it, if only for a moment.
