The Buffalo Bills boasted one of the NFL’s top offenses last season, averaging 30.9 points per game. However, despite their high-powered attack, they fell short of the Super Bowl once again, losing to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. As a result, much of the offseason discussion has centered on how Buffalo can finally get over the hump—primarily by securing a true star receiver for Josh Allen.
The Bills previously found success with Stefon Diggs, but that partnership has since lost some of its spark. Now, many believe Buffalo should pursue another big-name target, with Cincinnati Bengals receiver frequently mentioned as a potential addition. Though the Bengals placed the franchise tag on top star, Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay argues that the Bills should still push to acquire him.
“After coming up short against the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs yet again, the Buffalo Bills once again find themselves looking for answers during a long offseason,” Kay writes. “Tee Higgins could be the missing piece for a team becoming downright desperate to secure a Super Bowl before its window closes. An Allen-Higgins connection may be exactly what the Bills need to finally become the team to beat in the AFC.”
Adding Higgins would require a significant financial commitment, and general manager Brandon Beane would have to navigate some complex salary cap maneuvering to make it happen.
