Burrow Confident Bengals Will Re-Sign Tee Higgins
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is sounding optimistic about the future of his receiving core. Amidst speculation about the team’s ability to retain both Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase, Burrow expressed confidence that Higgins will be back in a Bengals uniform in 2024 and beyond.
"We’re Going to Do What It Takes"
Following the Bengals’ victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football, Burrow addressed reporters, stating, "I’m confident that I think we’re going to be able to do what it takes to get Tee back. I know that I’m going to do what it takes to get him back and so is he. We have those talks, so those are going to be offseason discussions, but I think we’re excited about that opportunity.”
Burrow’s words suggest a willingness to potentially restructure his own contract to create salary cap space for both Higgins and Chase.
A Trio For the Future?
The quarterback clearly values the importance of having his top two receivers by his side, hinting at the possibility of seeing both Higgins and Chase in a Bengals uniform for years to come. This combination of talent has already proven to be a formidable force, and a continued partnership could solidify the Bengals’ position as a contender in the AFC.
With the Bengals entering an offseason riddled with crucial contract negotiations, Burrow’s unwavering confidence in re-signing Higgins provides a much-needed ray of hope for Bengals fans. The coming months will undoubtedly be crucial in determining the future of Cincinnati’s explosive offense.
