One of the NFL’s biggest free agents next offseason could be Cincinnati Bengals 1,000-yard wide receiver Tee Higgins.
Recent news has surfaced regarding Higgins’ representation during contract negotiations.
According to insider Kelsey Conway, Higgins will now be represented by NFL agent Rocky Arceneaux as he looks to earn a long-term deal.
Conway also noted that Arceneaux represents Bengals Pro Bowl wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, who will also be looking for a major deal next offseason.

The big question will be whether or not Cincinnati can find a way to ink both Chase and Higgins to long-term deals.
It would be stunning if the Bengals let both walk in free agency, especially with how good of a player Chase has been in his career.
In many cases, most players who sign the franchise tag, such as Higgins, are likely to join a new team after feeling disrespected by the team that decided not to sign them to a major deal.
There could be a young team like the New England Patriots that may want to pay up for the former Clemson star.
At minimum, there is no doubt that Higgins’ future is up in the air.
