The Baltimore Ravens will look for a wide receiver this offseason. And now there could be a familiar one available, and he may have already indicated where he wants to play.
Tee Higgins, the Cincinnati Bengals wideout, reportedly requested a trade after the team slapped the franchise tag on him. During a recent interview with NBC Sports’ Lawrence Jackson Jr., Higgins mentioned four quarterbacks he would like to play for.

Lamar Jackson is one of these quarterbacks, and the Ravens are one of the teams.
Others he cited included Josh Allen and the Bills, Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars, and C.J. Stroud and the Texans. Higgins and Lawrence both played college football at Clemson, so this is not surprising.
If Higgins plays in Cincinnati with the franchise tag, he will earn a guaranteed $20.7 million in 2024. If the team accepts his trade request, Baltimore could be an excellent fit.
The Ravens have already re-signed wide receiver Nelson Agholor, avoiding free agency, and they still have first-round draft pick Zay Flowers on the roster. However, if a new arrangement with the veteran pass catcher is not completed, Baltimore will almost certainly have to replace Odell Beckham Jr.
Last season, in six games, Higgins, a former second-round choice, caught 42 passes for 656 yards and five scores.
