CINCINNATI — Matthew Berry released his annual "25 most interesting things he heard at the NFL Combine" column. Naturally, the Bengals made the list.

Berry wrote about Tee Higgins' future. He received mixed messages about the 25-year-old.

^{"I had few different conversations about Tee Higgins possibly being traded from sources I trust. One said: “No, they’re keeping him this year.” One said they think it’s a 60% chance Higgins gets traded this year," Berry wrote. "He’s a proven commodity and trading for him might be a team’s best option given Higgins’ talent in what might be a crazy WR free agent market, especially with the higher salary cap. Then another source, who knows how Cincy operates, said they didn’t think Higgins would be traded because knowing the Bengals’ thinking they will likely wait too long and then not get enough for him back in a deal. Either way, if Higgins does get dealt, it’s worth noting Joe Burrow really has trust in Andrei Iosivas, but there will be competition for the No. 2 WR spot, likely from a receiver taken in this draft."}

A trade involving Higgins still feels unlikely, but don't rule it out yet. He'll make $21.8 million this season if he plays on the franchise tag.

Meanwhile, Berry also offered an update on the Bengals' plans for two key veterans.

"Tyler Boyd is also expected to be released, as is Joe Mixon," Berry wrote.

Boyd is a free agent, but the Bengals aren't expected to re-sign him. Mixon is due a $3 million roster bonus on the fourth day of the new league year. The Bengals could clear $6.1 million in cap space by moving on from the veteran running back.
