Kansas City Chiefs players will begin reporting to the team’s training camp at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph next Tuesday, July 16 — so on Tuesday, Pro Football Focus writer Thomas Valentine proposed a move every team should make before settling into camp.
Kansas City Chiefs: Trade for Tee Higgins
The Chiefs have long been in the hypothetical market for a receiver despite signing Marquise Brown to a one-year deal in free agency. The Cincinnati Bengals might not be too content with the idea of trading Higgins to a Super Bowl-contending rival — especially when those rivals are the reigning Super Bowl champions — but a long-term contract doesn’t appear to be on the horizon for Higgins. Rather than let him walk, the Bengals could look to move him for future draft picks.
The Chiefs should throw themselves into the sweepstakes. Travis Kelce might not have too many years left in the tank, and Higgins would give Mahomes a legitimate X receiver.
Takeaway
But Higgins isn’t a disappointing wideout who is headed into the fourth year of his rookie contract. He’s a former second-round pick who has largely fulfilled his promise after playing through all four years of his initial deal. He’s had the franchise tag placed upon him — and more than three weeks ago, he signed that tag. While it’s true that Higgins has requested a trade, Kansas City is not in a position to pay him the tag price of $21.8 million in 2024 — and probably isn’t interested in negotiating a long-term deal with him.
In this offseason, Kansas City made two significant moves at wide receiver. If the team makes another before training camp, it’s more likely to be for an offensive tackle — or a running back.
