According to multiple reports, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins fired NFL Agent David Mulugheta in shocking move.
Wide receiver Tee Higgins, with 4,200 career yards, has parted ways with his NFL agent, signaling his intention to secure a significant deal in his next contract. Reports confirm that Higgins has officially dismissed David Mulugheta, who had represented him for several years. This move puts pressure on the Cincinnati Bengals, who must make a tough decision regarding their receiving corps, as they work to extend both Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase. With Joe Burrow already signed for the long term, the Bengals may have to choose between Higgins and Chase.
Higgins, drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, has been a dependable contributor to Burrow’s offense, although Chase has often overshadowed him. Higgins was involved in trade rumors during the offseason before signing a franchise tender to return for training camp. His decision to fire his agent signals frustration and a desire for a long-term contract, making it more likely he could leave the Bengals if they can’t meet his demands, especially with the need to extend Chase.
Higgins has made it clear he won’t settle for a short-term deal, further complicating the Bengals’ position. As he seeks a long-term contract, contenders like the Ravens, Chiefs, and Chargers could be interested in acquiring him if the Bengals decide not to extend him.
4,200-Yard Receiver Tee Higgins Fires NFL Agent in Career-Alternating Move – Ravens, Chiefs, Chargers Next Possible Teams?
Diontae Johnson Afterlife
The Baltimore Ravens entered this season with strong momentum, bolstered by the acquisition of Derrick Henry to enhance their ground game for Lamar Jackson. However, they struggled to find a suitable replacement for Odell Beckham Jr. until they traded for Diontae Johnson, providing some relief for Nelson Agholor.
While the Ravens continue to rely on Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, Johnson’s issues have caused some tension in the locker room, despite efforts to downplay it. Signing Tee Higgins could provide Jackson with a long-term, deep-threat receiver to complement Flowers, strengthening the Ravens’ receiving corps.
Reconstructing the Chiefs
L.A. Higgins
The Los Angeles Chargers are among the teams that have been linked to Tee Higgins. Despite drafting Ladd McConkey and signing DJ Chark this offseason, the team still has a significant gap in their receiving corps. While McConkey appears to be the long-term solution for Justin Herbert in the slot.
The Chargers may look to compete for Higgins in the upcoming offseason to address their deep passing game struggles. Quentin Johnston was expected to fill that deep-threat role, but he has yet to make an impact significant enough for the Chargers to feel confident in his future with the team.
