Bengals' Higgins: Overpaid or Game-Changer?

0:00On March 29, Bengals fans know the team rarely catches heat for throwing cash around wildly. Their sharp with the salary cap, always staying under control. But Bleacher Report just dropped a hot take, calling wide receiver T Higgins their most overpaid player. For the third straight year, he's on that list with a 28.8 million average annual value, putting him among the top 12. Highest paid receivers in the league. He's coming off 11 touchdowns last season, a career high, but failed to hit 4,000 yards receiving for the third year running. On most squads, guys like Tackle Orlando Brown with his 19.2 million cap hit, or defensive lineman, BJ Hill at 12.1 million. Might snag that label instead. That said, the Bengals aren't your average team building a roster. They've got the star trio of Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase, and Higgins locked in, which changes everything. Fans and front office folks see Higgins stretching the field and opening up plays, even with those nagging injuries holding him back.

1:01He's racked up 21 scores over the last two seasons, and plenty of other teams would slap number one receiver money on him without blinking. The Bengals aren't sweating this list one bit. They know his role keeps their offense humming. Bottom line, lists like this don't face Cincinnati, they're playing chess while others play checkers on the cap sheet.
