Is Higgins to Panthers possible?

[NAS]

It seems like Bengals will tag him but if he becomes unrestricted FA, would you be willing to give him #1 WR $$$?

4. WR TEE HIGGINS, CINCINNATI BENGALS

Potential landing spot(s): Carolina Panthers, Jacksonville Jaguars, New England Patriots

It’s no secret the Carolina Panthers desperately need wide receiver help, and Tee Higgins played his college ball at Clemson, so it would be a return to the area. 

Jacksonville has a good slot receiver in Christian Kirk, and even if the Jaguars did retain Calvin Ridley, he profiles as more of a move/Z-receiver at this stage of his career. Higgins brings the big-bodied X-receiver skill set to town, unlocking more deep passing for Trevor Lawrence and a big, reliable target down in the red zone where Jacksonville struggled mightily in 2023. Higgins played with Lawrence for two seasons at Clemson, so why not get the duo back together?

The Patriots need more wide receiver help than any team in the NFL, so they should be in on every name. New England is flush with cap space and could use the No. 3 overall pick on a quarterback. Putting that quarterback in a similar position as Mac Jones — lacking legitimate wide receiver talent — would be a bad idea.

cool, we just hired a dude who has a rep for not giving out dumb contracts, so unless we way overpay higgins why in the hell would he hitch his wagon to this franchise?  It aint happening

[Billy Goat]

Most players at that stage of their career signing their first big contract will go to whoever writes the biggest cheque, so there's always a chance. I doubt he becomes a FA though.

I don’t think I’d mind but Young seems like really needs the o-line first.

Any qb needs an oline first. 

[top dawg]

Damn! Didn't realize Ridley was 29.

I'd take Higgins for sure, but I don't see him as a true WR1.

Anything is possible, when you wish upon a star.

Newsflash teams with better QBs can offer him money as well.

 

Cmon people let's be realistic. I was on the Higgins train early at the beginning of the season. Then we saw Bryce wasn't really that good. No chance Higgins considers coming here when other teams have a better QB and can also offer him similar money.

 

Unless we go cray cray and offer him 35mil a year there is no chance he comes here.

True which is why I’d rather focus on it. I’m not sure if Young will really ever rip it the way he needs to even with time. 

[Lame Duck]

This year, we will surround Young with talent to see if he’s a flop or bad situation.  If he still sucks and shows no improvement, he’ll likely get benched mid-season and will be done here.
