Much has gone into this dramatic shift in Higgins’ future outlook with the Bengals over the last few weeks. His dramatic role in the season-saving win over the Denver Broncos in Week 17, highlighted by 11 catches for 131 yards and three scores and the game-winning catch in overtime, only intensified this idea.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins expressed that the team's Week 17 win over Denver could prove to be his "last game" with Cincinnati.

The receiver's three-touchdown heroics kept the team's playoff hopes alive, but an uncertain future for him in Cincinnati continues to loom.
