    Cincinnati Bengals wideout Tee Higgins has decided he's had enough.

    After having the franchise tag on him and frustration with the lack of a long-term deal, Higgins notified the team he wanted to be traded as reported by Adam Schefter.

    "Bengals franchise WR Tee Higgins has requested a trade, per sources. Higgins loves Cincinnati and hoped to be with the team long term, but is disappointed that the team has not had any talks about a long-term contract extension since March 2023. He’s ready to move on to a new home," Schefter reported on Monday morning.

    On a recent appearance with NBC Sports' Lawrence Jackson Jr. , Higgins named four quarterbacks he would love to play for.

    Lamar Jackson is one of those quarterbacks, and the Ravens are one of the teams.

    Others he mentioned were Josh Allen and the Bills, Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars and C.J. Stroud and the Texans. Higgins played college ball at Clemson with Lawrence, so that's no surprise.

    If Higgins plays in Cincinnati under the franchise tag next season, he'll make a guaranteed $20.7 million in 2024. If the team honors his trade request, there are a number of teams that could be interested if the price is right.
