Chiefs Ready to “Rescue” Super Bowl LVI Star from Bengals’ Collapse — Mahomes Finally Gets His Deep Threat Back
Kansas City, Missouri
The Kansas City Chiefs (5-1) are reportedly preparing a bold move to “rescue” Pro Bowl wide receiver Tee Higgins from the struggling Cincinnati Bengals (1-5), according to multiple league insiders. With the trade deadline approaching on November 4, Chiefs GM Brett Veach is said to be exploring a deal centered around a 2026 first-round pick to acquire Higgins — a move that could reignite Patrick Mahomes’ passing attack after weeks of inconsistency.
Higgins, 26, has recorded only 24 receptions for 288 yards and one touchdown this season amid a Bengals offense that’s fallen apart without rhythm. The Clemson product, known for his vertical playmaking, has long been admired by Kansas City scouts.
“He’s exactly the kind of target Mahomes thrives with — big catch radius, reliable hands, and elite in traffic,” said an AFC executive via ESPN.
The Chiefs have struggled to stretch the field since Tyreek Hill’s departure, and Higgins could be the missing link to restore their explosiveness.
When asked about the rumors, head coach Andy Reid kept things vague but didn’t hide his admiration:
“Tee’s one of those guys who can change a game in one play. We’re always looking for players who fit our culture — smart, tough, and team-first.”
Sources close to the team claim Mahomes has “personally approved” the idea, believing Higgins could replicate the chemistry he once had with Hill.
NFL insiders say the Chiefs are in advanced discussions with Cincinnati, who may part ways with Higgins before losing him for nothing in free agency.
Fan pages have already exploded with the hashtag #FreeTee and #MahomesMagicReturns, calling the move a “win-now miracle.”
If the deal goes through, Higgins could debut as early as Week 9 vs. the Bills, giving Mahomes the deep weapon Kansas City has been missing since 2022.
One trade could reshape the entire AFC playoff picture.
