Tee Higgins, a Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver who will become a free agency this year, has indicated a desire to play for the Tennessee Titans in 2024.
Cincinnati’s head coach, Zac Taylor, and offensive coordinator, Brian Callahan, have built one of the league’s greatest attacks over the last five seasons.
Brian Callahan, who was the Cincinnati Bengals’ coordinator from 2019 to 2023, has been named the new coach of the Tennessee Titans. Callahan worked as the Bengals’ offensive coordinator during Tee Higgins’ tenure.
Higgins is projected to leave the Bengals this offseason because he, Joe Burrow, and wide receiver Jamaal Chase are overpaid.
Higgins told Bleacher Report what it means to him that the Bengals want him back on the club.
“It means a lot,”
Higgins told Bleacher Report that he discussed the quarterback with a receiver who expressed a desire to return even if he enters free agency this year.
During the same conversation, Chase mentioned that Higgins needed money. Although Chase joked about wanting to join this season, he stated that he would have to wait for other receivers to establish the market.
“Who knows what will ultimately happen,”

When asked about the idea, the LSU product told Bleacher Report.
Higgins is a member of the 2020 draft class, which changed the Bengals’ roster. Higgins threw for over 900 yards in his first season with the Bengals, the only time in 16 games that he did not throw for 1,000.
Higgins had 3,684 receiving yards and 24 receptions over his four-year career.
Whether the team concentrates on Chase or Chase is injured, Higgins will play an important part for the Bengals.
In his debut season, he appeared in 74.8% of regular-season games, the greatest percentage ever recorded by the Bengals in one season.
Whether Higgins stays with the Tigers or goes elsewhere, he will have a significant impact on NFL offenses.
His excellent hands and ability to leap the ball made him a top receiver for numerous NFL teams.
The Cincinnati Bengals have been fortunate with numerous great additions in recent years.
While Ja’Marr Chase is unquestioned, Tee Higgins is the top player.
The 25-year-old wide receiver is the league’s second-best outfielder, with 257 catches for 3,684 yards and 24 touchdowns since being taken in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
However, his season in Cincinnati is finished, he is a free agent, and he is now tied.
During the Super Bowl LVIII broadcast in Las Vegas, Higgins expressed his disappointment that former coordinator Brian Callahan left Cincinnati.
“He helped me a lot,”
Higgins spoke of Callahan. He’s an excellent coach and person, and one of the best in the league.
Higgins, who grew up in Tennessee, was also asked how he felt about Callahan joining Tennessee as a free agent this year.
“It would be good,”
Higgins stated.
“Going back home to family and being able to play for a coach I’ve already been under, it would be ideal.”
