Bengals Mentioned as Possible Trade Destination For Davante Adams
CINCINNATI — The Bengals trading for Davante Adams? Fanbuzz's Senior NFL insider Matt Lombardo listed Cincinnati as one of the six top destinations for the elite Raiders wide receiver.
Las Vegas is 1-2 this season and Adams has shown frustration with the team's start.
"Cincinnati might be a surprise to find on a list like this, especially given the long-term uncertainty surrounding Tee Higgins' future," Lombardo wrote. "The Bengals have a legitimate Super Bowl window as long as Joe Burrow is behind center and adding Adams could potentially widen it.
"The Bengals, even after making Burrow the highest-paid quarterback in league history, still have $12.16 million in cap space this season and $86.63 million in spending flexibility in 2024. So, there really aren't any financial hurdles to adding Adams to the fold. Moreover, it's difficult to imagine many secondaries being able to keep both Adams and Ja'Marr Chase under wraps. At least for the rest of this season, Chase, Adams, and Higgins would unquestionably be the most dynamic receiving corps in the league."
It could make the most sense to trade Higgins for Adams straight up as a way to raise the ceiling of the offense over the next couple of seasons while shortening the length of that second big receiver contract.
Higgins could command close to $28 million per year (Adams' average salary) on his new deal if he turns around a slow start to the 2023 season.
