ESPN's Jeremy Fowler writes that team personnel that he spoke with think Cincinnati Bengals impending free-agent wide receiver Tee Higgins' market is $30 million per year, with most of them thinking he'll hit or clear the over on that mark. The lowest estimate is somewhere slightly above DeVonta Smith's three-year, $75 million deal. Higgins should do very well for himself in free agency because of his status as a No.1-caliber wideout and the fact that plenty of NFL teams are desperate for pass-catching help this offseason. If the Bengals wanted to, they could put the franchise tag on Higgins for less than $30 million in 2025, but the expectation is that they'll either sign him to an extension or let him walk. The 26-year-old has played in only 12 regular-season games in each of the last two years due to injuries, but when healthy, he's been productive. Higgins had a career-high 10 TDs and 911 receiving yards in 2024.

The top priority for the Cincinnati Bengals this offseason is signing All-Pro wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase to a long-term contract extension that is expected to make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in league history. Despite that, director of player personnel Duke Tobin said the team needs to find the "right number" to re-sign impending free-agent wideout Tee Higgins as well. Most folks have assumed that Higgins will leave in free agency, and even Tobin admitted "it's going to be hard" for the Bengals to bring Higgins back. Plenty of teams are in need of a receiver of Higgins' caliber, so he's likely to receive plenty of lucrative offers that will exceed what the Bengals are able to offer. It will all depend on if the 26-year-old is willing to accept a "hometown" discount to stay with Chase and quarterback Joe Burrow. Leaving Cincy would give Higgins a higher fantasy ceiling, depending on where he ends up.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson appears to have little interest playing elsewhere next season. There have been rumors that Wilson would want to join his former head coach Pete Carroll in Las Vegas next season. However, Wilson has squashed those rumors and says that his primary focus is on the Steelers. The 36-year-old is set to be a free agent this summer and isn't exactly a lock to return to Pittsburgh. Wilson threw for 2,482 passing yards with 16 touchdowns and five interceptions in 11 regular season games. He helped the Steelers make the postseason, but they were quickly eliminated by the Baltimore Ravens. The Steelers don't have another viable option at quarterback with Justin Fields also heading to free agency. It seems like there's a good chance Wilson returns to Pittsburgh, but him heading to Las Vegas shouldn't be ruled out yet.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson is replacing Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson on the AFC Pro Bowl roster, according to Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team. Wilson is headed to his 10th career Pro Bowl after Jackson opted out. The 36-year-old completed 63.7% of his passes for 2,482 yards, 16 touchdowns, and five interceptions in 11 games for the Steelers in 2024. Wilson is a free agent this offseason, and his future is unclear. However, he now becomes the seventh quarterback in NFL history to be named to at least 10 Pro Bowls, joining Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, and Johnny Unitas.

The Las Vegas Raiders have hired Pete Carroll as their new head coach on Friday. Unsurprisingly, quarterback Russell Wilson is a name to watch with the Raiders likely seeking a new QB this offseason. There is an obvious connection between Wilson and Carroll during their days in Seattle together. Wilson is set to be a free agent after throwing for nearly 2,500 passing yards with 16 touchdowns and five interceptions in 11 games with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Raiders aren't exactly as skilled of a roster as the Steelers, but Wilson could serve as a solid bridge option for Las Vegas. It remains to be seen if the two sides will reunite this offseason.
