The Tennessee Titans were a consistent talking point when it came to a wide receiver trade earlier in the offseason. After adding Calvin Ridley, those discussions have cooled. Regardless, one option at wideout always made a ton of sense. That was Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins. 

Higgins now says that he anticipates playing for Cincinnati next season. 

Higgins has been a popular trade candidate for the Titans because of their new head coach, Brian Callahan. He was the offensive coordinator in Cincy before getting his new gig in Nashville. 

Higgins was a key component in his offense, a sign that the big-bodied DeAndre Hopkins will be for the Titans now. In four years in the pros, Higgins has totaled 3,684 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns. 

That being said, it seems like Higgins will not be moved now. 

The Bengals franchise tagged him in February which caused a trade request from the WR. Cooler heads have prevailed as of mid-April, and Cincy has until July to give him a long-term extension.
