To be honest, the Dallas Cowboys’ 2024 season hasn’t started off well by their standards. Even if the club is currently 3-2, opponents’ defences have so far this season subdued the squad’s star power and dominance, which fans have grown accustomed to. It appears that the Cowboys may be considering adding another elite receiver by the trade deadline, as many observers have predicted.By the trade deadline at the end of the month, the Cowboys are expected to sign Tee Higgins, the star receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals. Because he hasn’t received the contract he wants from the Bengals, Higgins has been the subject of multiple trade rumours over the last two seasons.
The primary cause of Higgins’ popularity among teams in need of receivers is Cincinnati’s poor performance this year. As the Bengals head into Week Six at 1-4, players like Higgins might be more inclined to sign with another club if they can’t turn things around and return to a respectable record by the trade deadline.
Despite being Ja’Marr Chase’s backup option on the Bengals offence, Higgins has shown to be one of the top receivers in the league. Since being selected by Cincinnati in the 2020 NFL Draft, he has amassed 3,866 receiving yards and 26 touchdowns. His playmaking skill has been a constant throughout his career, and many clubs would love to have him. However, having him on the Cowboys would take some attention away from standout CeeDee Lamb.
