"It’s gonna be lit" - Kendrick Bourne recruits Tee Higgins to Patriots amid $21,816,000 WR's uncertain future in Cincinnati

Kendrick Bourne wants Tee Higgins to come join him with the New England Patriots. The Cincinnati Bengals wideout's future with the team is uncertain as he is set to become an unrestricted free agent as his $21 million, one-year contract expires after the current season. The Bengals, however, have shown no interest so far in offering him a contract extension.

Higgins may not be out of the team yet as the Bengals rarely offer contract extensions while a season is underway.

Kendrick Bourne, however, is trying his shot at recruiting the star wideout. In a video he posted to TikTok, he tried to lure him in by saying that it would be "lit" seeing him score touchdowns on passes from rookie quarterback Drake Maye.

“Aye, Tee Higgins if you out there … come to the Pats, bro. It ain’t what it seems, bro. It’s gonna be lit. … Drake Maye and Tee Higgins touchdown. Look how good that sounds,” Bourne said in the video.

However, it looks unlikely that Tee Higgins would leave the Bengals (7-8) for the Pats (3-12). Besides, the Bengals have their franchise QB in Joe Burrow and a strong coaching staff, whereas the Patriots have Drake Maye, who is still rough around the edges and will need to develop further.

Tee Higgins gives his flowers to Joe Burrow for lunging TD pass

Against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, Joe Burrow performed an almost-superhuman move. While being pressured by defenders, he lunged to the ground. But while lunging, he threw the ball towards the end zone, which was caught by Tee Higgins, who was guarded by Browns defenders.

He praised Burrow on X (formerly, Twitter), referencing the Batmobile that Burrow reportedly owns, and said that he was not Batman, but Superman.

"Looked like Superman when he was throwing it. I’m calling him Superman from this day forward. F**k Batman, that’s Superman."

Will he leave the team and the QB with whom he seems to have built an amazing chemistry and join a team which is still struggling to find its footing? Or will the Bengals let him move on and recruit a new WR?
