Bears Eye Trade for Bengals' Tee Higgins to Boost Receiving Corps
Chicago Bears consider trading No. 9 pick for franchise-tagged receiver Tee Higgins, aiming to strengthen support for new quarterback.
- The Chicago Bears are considering a trade with the Cincinnati Bengals for wide receiver Tee Higgins, who has been franchise-tagged and is likely to be traded.
- Higgins, with two 1,000-yard seasons, could provide a significant boost to the Bears' receiving corps, complementing DJ Moore.
- The potential trade could involve the Bears' No. 9 overall pick, a high price, but seen as a worthwhile investment to support likely new quarterback Caleb Williams.
- The Bears have nearly $79 million in salary cap space, allowing them to easily absorb Higgins' contract.
- Other NFL teams, including the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers, are also seen as potential destinations for Higgins.
