The Cincinnati Bengals have one of the top receiving corps in the NFL.
One player that will be a hot topic of conversation this offseason is Tee Higgins.
Entering the final year of his rookie season, Higgins will be in line for a massive pay-day.
He has been one of the most productive receivers in the NFL being drafted by the Bengals in 2020.
Higgins has three straight seasons of over 900 yards and six touchdowns.
But with the Bengals having to pay Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase soon, it is possible Higgins could be on the move.
On @NFLNetwork, #Bengals WR Tee Higgins answers a question about being photoshopped into every uniform. How long will the team stay together?
"Hopefully for a long time, I plan on being in Cincinnati for a while."
Higgins is heading into the final year of his rookie contract.

It will be interesting to see what the Bengals decide to do this offseason.
Having multiple elite weapons on offense is key for a good passing attack.
There is a reason Burrow and the Bengals have played at such a high level over the past two years.
Losing Higgins would be a major problem for the Bengals, so paying him might be their best option.
When it comes to the idea of trading Higgins, almost every team in the league will be interested.
You could even see a package going back to the Bengals similar to the one the Tennessee Titans back for A.J. Brown.
It seems likely that something will happen with Higgins this offseason.
Either he will be traded or more likely he will stay in Cincinnati and negotiate a new contract.
The Bengals have many of their key players still on rookie contracts.
Which is why they have the fifth most cap space in the league according to Spotrac.
Now we have to wait and see what they do with it.
