LAS VEGAS, NV — January 14, 2025 — In a stunning move that is set to reshape the AFC, the Las Vegas Raiders are reportedly finalizing a deal to acquire star wide receiver Tee Higgins from the Cincinnati Bengals. ESPN insiders have confirmed that the trade is all but official, with the Raiders sending a combination of draft picks and players to the Bengals in exchange for the highly sought-after receiver.
This move comes as the Raiders look to strengthen their receiving corps around quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and improve their offensive attack. Higgins, who has been one of the most productive and consistent wideouts in the NFL since entering the league in 2020, is expected to become a central figure in the Raiders’ passing game.
While the trade package is still undisclosed, sources close to the deal indicate that the Raiders are prepared to sign Higgins to a multi-year contract extension that will make him one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL. The contract is rumored to be worth upwards of $180 million over five years, a deal that reflects the 25-year-old’s elite status and playmaking ability.
Higgins, known for his blend of size, speed, and physicality, has been a key contributor to the Bengals’ offense, helping lead them to multiple playoff appearances. His potential to elevate the Raiders’ offense is seen as a game-changing addition for a team looking to make a deep playoff run in 2025.
For the Bengals, this trade marks a significant turning point as they begin to retool their roster, with rumors circulating that they are focusing on developing younger talent and solidifying other key positions. However, fans in Cincinnati will certainly feel the loss of one of their top stars.
The official announcement of the deal is expected within the next 24 hours, with team sources suggesting that a press conference could follow soon after. Raider Nation is already buzzing with excitement as they anticipate the arrival of Higgins to Las Vegas.
