Is This Star Wide Receiver The Missing Piece For The Panthers
The Carolina Panthers had a season to forget in 2023. The team finished 2-15 with the worst record in the NFL. To make matters worse, the team would've picked first-overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, but they traded that pick away in last year's blockbuster deal to move up and draft quarterback Bryce Young. Now the team is in a bad spot with a struggling offense and a new head coach. But helping Young is the top priority and signing this elite receiver could help the former Alabama star have a breakout season.
The Carolina Panthers Should Target Tee Higgins
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins would be a great signing to boost the offense. The 25-year-old was drafted in the second-round in 2020 by the Cincinnati Bengals and has been a star ever since. He has posted 900+ receiving yards in his first three seasons and had a career-low 656 yards this past year due to missing five games, but still added five touchdowns. But outside of his rookie season, Higgins has been a number-two receiver behind Ja'Marr Chase and could blossom being the go-to guy in Charlotte.
If the Panthers sign Higgins, it gives them an immediate upgrade in the receiving room and allows Bryce Young to develop. With Higgins paired with veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen and potential breakout Jonathan Mingo, Carolina will be in good hands for the future. While it's very likely Cincinnati gives Higgins the franchise-tag, the Panthers should sign him quickly if he does not as he will immediately help the Panthers offense. It will be a big off-season for David Tepper's team, but adding a big name wide receiver like Higgins should be a top priority.
