The Green Bay Packers boasted the NFL’s youngest offense in 2023 and narrowly missed out on reaching the NFC Championship Game, prompting discussions about making significant offseason moves to strengthen their offensive lineup.
A potential blockbuster trade opportunity presents itself to the Green Bay franchise in the form of Tee Higgins, the talented wide receiver from the Cincinnati Bengals. Higgins, a former second-round pick, has been retained by the Bengals through the use of the franchise tag, securing his services until 2025 for $21.8 million. Despite this, Duke Tobin, the longstanding director of player personnel for Cincinnati, hinted at the possibility of Higgins being traded for the right offer during his media interaction at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis on February 27, as reported by ESPN.
Tobin’s shift in tone represents a notable departure from his stance at the previous year’s combine, where he discouraged teams from pursuing Higgins by advising them to find their own wide receiver talent. This change in attitude sparked conversations among various NFL analysts and fan bases, speculating on which teams might be interested in acquiring a player of Higgins’ caliber, who possesses the potential to serve as a WR1. Peter Bukowski of Locked on Packers was among those who weighed in on the discussion, offering insights and perspectives on the matter.
