After losing out on Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans, the Buffalo Bills are in a difficult situation and are in dire need of a new top wide receiver.
Bleacher Report’s Alex Key pushed the Bills to trade for Tee Higgins from the Cincinnati Bengals in order to address that “massive void.” In late February, the Bengals gave Higgins a one-year contract for $21.816 million by placing the franchise tag on him. Kay stated on April 8 that “there’s still a realistic chance that he’ll suit up for another team in 2024.”
The Bills send Cincinnati a 2025 second-round selection and a 2024 fifth-round pick (No. 163) in exchange for Higgins.
The Bengals are short on cash after inking quarterback Joe Burrow to a record-breaking five-year, $275 million contract last offseason, and with Ja’Marr Chase having qualified for an extension.

“The Bills could use the 2025 second-rounder that they acquired in the Diggs trade to land Higgins, but they may be light on premium 2024 picks—they have only two selections (Nos. 28 and 60) during the first two days of the draft,” Kay said. “The Bengals could also be able to talk Buffalo into giving them one of their seven selections, which are between Nos. 128 and 204, as a throw-in to add another talent to the team this year.
“Higgins’ trade would be a tremendous start, but it might not be enough to maintain Buffalo’s passing offense among the best in the league. Star quarterback Josh Allen would be able to count on him as the offense attempts to absorb any newcomers.
