No great surprise here when it comes to the Bengals wanting to keep Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.

As most fans could reasonably guess, the Cincinnati Bengals have again firmly involved Joe Burrow in the offseason process. That includes looping in Burrow on major offseason items on the to-do list s

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (1), quarterback Joe Burrow (9) and wide receiver Tee Higgins (5) take the field as captains for the coin toss before the first quarter of the NFL Week 18 game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on Saturday,

Pro Football Focus (PFF) has identified three potential landing spots for Higgins: the Washington Commanders, New England Patriots, and Las Vegas Raiders.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow plays a pivotal role in the team's offseason plans. The franchise actively seeks his input on retaining key offensive weapons, particularly wide receiver Tee Higgins, who signed a one-year $21.8 million deal with the team in June.

CINCINNATI — PFF's Dalton Wasserman dropped one free agent that each NFL team needs to keep this offseason and Tee Higgins took the Bengals' top spot. Higgins is coming off a strong campaign with 73 catches for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns (career-high) playing on the franchise tag.

No team has better resources to improve its roster than the Patriots, who own the No. 4 pick in the draft and have lots of salary-cap space.

Duke Tobin has made definitive proclamations on Tee Higgins during the past two winters. The de facto Bengals GM declared his No. 2 wide receiver unavailable in trades at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine and then franchise-tagged him last year.

CINCINNATI — Duke Tobin doesn't sound very optimistic about Cincinnati's chances of keeping Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase under contract for years to come. He discussed the "hard" task of pulling that off with The Enquirer's Kelsey Conway.
