We know teams have called the Bengals about possibly trading for Tee Higgins.

Are they open to a trade?

Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network updated Higgins' status. It's fair to say the Bengals have no plans of trading him this offseason.

"The asking price for Tee Higgins is quote 'crazy' from one person. Very high. And so this definitely seems like a situation where the Bengals are not in a position now with their asking price to trade him."

The Bengals used the franchise tag on Higgins for a second-straight season. They have until July 15 to sign him to a long-term extension.

Couple that with Joe Burrow making it clear he wants Higgins in Cincinnati long-term and it's hard to see a scenario where the Bengals consider trading the 26-year-old receiver.

A look at where Bengals stand with Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Trey Hendrickson including a very high asking price for teams calling to trade for the latter two.
