GREEN BAY, WI – Packers fans, wake up—this could be huge! Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals’ star wide receiver, just lit a fuse on X with a cryptic tweet last night (February 21, 2025): “New year, new team vibes?” After a 2024-2025 season where our passing game screamed for a true WR1, I’m losing my mind imagining him catching bombs from Jordan Love. Is Higgins begging to wear green and gold?
I’ve endured every snap of our 11-6 run, and the Wild Card loss to the Eagles (22-10) still stings—Christian Watson’s ACL tear left us crippled, with Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs maxing out at 776 and 620 yards. Love’s 20 TDs were heroic, but he needed a big target. Enter Higgins: 6’4”, 330 catches, 4,595 yards, and 34 TDs in five Bengals seasons. I rewatched his 131-yard torching of the Steelers—imagine that in Lambeau! On r/GreenBayPackers, u/Solace1984’s drooling: “Higgins with Love would bury the Lions!” I’m right there—our WR room’s been a patchwork since Davante left.
But here’s the X bombshell: @PackersNationWI swears Higgins’ tweet is a Green Bay wink, especially with Watson out till mid-2025. With $64M in cap space, GM Brian Gutekunst could make it happen—Spotrac pegs Higgins at $20M a year. That’s steep, right? On X, @TFG_Football’s fuming: “$20M for a WR when our secondary’s trash? Pass!” I get it—Jaire Alexander’s injuries and Eric Stokes’ zero picks hurt us bad. But a Love-Higgins duo could turn Josh Jacobs’ 1,200-yard ground game into a full-on attack—think 2011 vibes with Rodgers and Jennings.
Is this real or just offseason smoke? Higgins has clashed with Bengals brass over pay—could he be angling for a trade? I’d kill to see him snag 50-50 balls at Lambeau, but that price tag’s got me sweating. Packers Nation, is he begging to join Love, or are we dreaming too big? Drop your take—my heart says yes, my wallet says whoa!
