The most prominent example right now is ESPN’s Aaron Schatz, whose set of bold offseason projections has the Buffalo Bills blowing the Bengals “out of the water” with a Higgins trade offer:

Tee Higgins is viewed as the top free agent in the 2025 class, and a new prediction has him landing with an NFC powerhouse.

For some, though, Higgins’ best fit in free agency might be with a team like the Washington Commanders, not the Bengals — an idea thrown out by ESPN’s Matt Bowen:

These signings can be a massive boost for teams. Look no further than the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. The team signed running back Saquon Barkley and linebacker Zack Baun in free agency last offseason and both had career seasons, especially Barkley.

The Cincinnati Bengals have some big contracts they have to address in the near future. However, they could just trade one of them this offseason.

We are quickly approaching NFL free agency. That means there are plenty of mock signings and other offseason moves being projected, but Frank Schwab from Yahoo Sports recently wrote about the Top 10 storyline going into this phase of the offseason.
