At this point in the offseason we won't know if wide receiver Tee Higgins will be playing for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2024.
Higgins, who is coming off an injury-mired season, is set to be a free agent when the new league year begins in March — unless the Bengals place the franchise tag on him.
While we don't know yet how Higgins' situation will play out this offseason, we at least know how he feels about Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow.
Higgins made it clear during an appearance on "Up & Adams" with Kay Adams this week that he doesn't think there's a quarterback in the NFL better than Burrow.
Adams asked Higgins and teammate Ja'Marr Chase about a viral video going around social media that suggests Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen are better quarterbacks than Burrow because Burrow has Chase and Higgins as teammates.
"Joe Burrow's going to have success whoever he's throwing the ball to," said Higgins. "He's just one of those top-tier quarterbacks that can't nobody compare to. In my opinion, Joe's one of the best quarterbacks in the league. And I don't see anyone that's better than him, if you ask me."
"Everybody knows that not true," added Chase, who noted that he hasn't seen the viral video, when asked about the idea that Burrow is only good because of Chase and Higgins.
Higgins doesn't sound like a player that's in a hurry to leave Joe Burrow's side.
And Bengals fans aren't in a hurry to see Higgins leave Cincinnati.
Ultimately, the money part has to make sense. But keeping Higgins, Chase, and Burrow together would certainly be an ideal scenario for the Bengals.
