The Cincinnati Bengals have the most effective triad of pass receivers in the organization. It begins with Ja'Marr Chase, picked out of LSU in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft, and it ends with Tyler Boyd, the group's slot receiver, and one of the ideal port receivers in the NFL, picked out of Pitt in the 2nd round in 2016. Between both of them is an additional top-tier pass receiver selected in the 2nd round of the 2020 season, simply after quarterback Joe Burrow, was the group's first-round choose of Clemson. He's revealed the whole organization over his first three periods that he's additionally a No. 1 HigginsHeight: 6-4Weight: 219 : 24College: ClemsonHometown: Oak Ridge, TNExperience: 3 yearsCap Status: Higgins is getting in the in 2015 of his newbie offer, and given that he wasn't selected in the preliminary, there is no fifth-year choice for him. If the Bengals can not extend him or use their franchise tag on him, he will certainly be betting one more team in 2024. Sadly, for Higgins, and the Bengals, the group has to identify an expansion for Burrow first. Burrow might be in the center of working out an extension that makes him the highest-paid gamer in organization history, and deservedly so. However, that substantial extension could leave the Bengals in a lurch when it concerns forecasts that Higgins can sign an agreement for approximately 4 years and $80.5 million, which would be an average salary of $20 million annually. If the group does that, they'll have to reverse and identify an extension for Chase, that is eligible to discuss an extension after the 2023 period. If the Bengals can maintain all 3, they could be paying a minimum of $100 million each year on just : Higgins started his sophomore season in 2018 at Clemson and assisted the Tigers win the University Football Playoff National Championship with three functions for 81 lawns versus Alabama. He completed that period with 59 catches for 936 yards and 12 next year, he began once more, and he once again located himself in the National Champion video game, yet this moment it protested LSU, and actually, his future quarterback in the NFL. While he did score a hurrying goal and caught three passes for 52 backyards in that video game, Burrow, Jefferson, and Chase were excessive for the Tigers. Higgins completed his junior year of university with 1, 167 getting yards and 13 touchdowns. He decided to go into the draft adhering to the 2019 NCAA period and was picked by the Bengals with the first choice of the second round. In his novice season, Higgins captured 67 passes for 908 lawns and 6 goals yet shed his beginning quarterback halfway through the year to a knee injury. Ever since, he has actually placed up over 1, 000 lawns in both his 2nd and 3rd periods, with 13 overall touchdowns, helping the team not only win their initial championship game in over thirty years, however was also important in their Super Bowl run in 2021, and virtually aided them come back in 2015, shedding in the AFC Champion game by a field on the 2023 season: Higgins is switching over from number 85 to 5, which was the number he used while at Clemson. He returns for the last year of his novice contract with Chase and Boyd but additionally with Irv Smith Jr. and an improved offensive line thanks to the addition of Orlando Brown Jr. in free agency. On paper, the Bengals have among the most effective offenses in the league, and a lot of experts agree that the group's pass receiver area is the most effective in the NFL.A deep dive by The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr. suggests that Higgins' visibility on the field really aids Chase's productivity greater than the various other method around. Higgins actually had much better lawns per course run when Chase was out in 2023 Tigers Store, which is a verbose method to state what we already recognized: Higgins is a true No. 1 receiver just as Chase is. While that benefits what we reach see on the field, it misbehaves for the Bengals' pocketbook. There's an actual possibility the Bengals won't be able to retain Higgins after the 2023 season unless it's on an one-year franchise tag. If that's the case, we need to appreciate viewing Chase and Higgins currently, because we might not see them on the area and in the very same attires after the 2023 season involves an end. The team is in win-now mode, and thinking about just how much talent might go out the door after the upcoming season is over, winning all of it currently is a lot more possible than it ever has actually been for this group.
