Joe Burrow will be disappointed if Tee Higgins leaves the Bengals (Getty)
Joe Burrow knows Tee Higgins very well. Besides currently playing together for the Cincinnati Bengals, they are from the same draft class (2020) and were part of a deadly quartet, alongside Joe Mixon and Ja'Marr Chase, that helped the franchise reach its first Super Bowl since the 1980s.
But amidst speculation regarding Higgins' future in the Queen City after playing out his $21.8-million franchise tag, the former #1 pick quarterback called him "a need" during press availability on Wednesday. He had a blunt take if the Bengals didn't resign Higgins.
“I'd be very disappointed. He’s very important. It’s not even just his production, it’s his presence, how he comes to work every day, how the defenses have to play us when he’s out there... I don’t think you can quite put a value on that.”
