  The Bengals franchise-tagged Tee Higgins last month, which prevented him from hitting free agency. He’s expected to earn $21.8 million this season on the tag.

  Higgins, 25, has 3,684 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns in 58 career games with the Bengals. They drafted him in the second round out of Clemson in 2020, and since then he’s formed a great connection with quarterback Joe Burrow and fellow wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase.

  However, Higgins’ 2023 season wasn’t his best. He missed five games due to injury, which limited him to 42 receptions for 656 yards and 5 touchdowns — a steep drop from his first three seasons, which were extremely productive. (For example, Higgins had 74 catches for 1,029 yards and seven touchdowns in 2022.)

  When the Denver Broncos and Russell Wilson publicized their divorce last week, speculation ran wild on where the aging nine-time Pro Bowl quarterback would land.

  The Las Vegas Raiders headlined a Yahoo Sports poll of quarterback agents and league executives’ predictions.

  But the one quarterback agent, who overachieved and ranked three top guesses, waited to mention the Raiders until third.

  The agent slotted the Atlanta Falcons second.

  And the Pittsburgh Steelers, in what now seems prescient, ranked first.

  “Obvious need and a playoff team,” the agent texted six days before Wilson and the NFL tweeted apparent confirmations. “This is his best shot to start and have [a] competitive team.”

  Russell Wilson’s first NFL stop was phenomenal, as he played at a near Hall of Fame level for the Seattle Seahawks. Then Wilson’s two seasons with the Denver Broncos went so poorly, it will go down among the worst trades and contracts in NFL history.

  We’ll see what the third act brings.
