Patriots and Commanders fans recruit Tee Higgins after WR's cryptic 3-word post turns heads - "You'll be an instant icon"

Patriots and Commanders fans are taking turns recruiting Tee Higgins after his social media post received significant attention. The wide receiver, who will be a free agent in the offseason, can choose to leave the Bengals in search of a new and better contract.

"Thank you God!" - wrote Tee Higgins.

Fans on X/Twitter, where the wide receiver made his initial post, thought it signaled an openness by the players to explore newer opportunities. It led to competing posts from Commanders and Patriots fans, each trying to convince him to come join their team. Here are some reactions from New England fans.

Washington fans were not far behind and here are some of their posts from the social media platform asking Higgins to join them in the capital.

"Thank you God, Tee Higgins is a Commander!" - said one.

"Need you in DC gang! Tell ya agent you wanna play with JD5 and Scary Terry!" - commented another.

"Can’t wait for you to get to DC big bro" - added a third.

Tee Higgins might choose to stay with Bengals despite plea from Commanders and Patriots fans

Tee Higgins has been a star performer for the Bengals and Cincinnati fans would love to see him back next season. However, he is playing on a franchise tag and would want to get the best contract. With the team paying big money to his fellow wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase and quarterback Joe Burrow, there might not be enough left within the salary cap to give him a mammoth contract.

Commanders and Patriots, which might have significantly higher cap space to play with, will be in the pole position in that regard. However, the wide receiver revealed to CBS NFL reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala that the best deal might mean the biggest for him. Playing with Burrow and Chase might be a bigger motivation.

"Tee Higgins told me last week being paid as a WR1 is not necessarily his no. 1 motivator. Said, “I’m playing with if not the best, one of the best, QBs. I’m playing with if not the best, one of the best, WRs. That opens up things for me.” And: “In this offense, everyone has a chance to be spotlighted.” He now shares an agent with Ja’Marr Chase and Chase told us Higgins is “the most unselfish person.” Maybe it’s not impossible..." - wrote Kinkhabwala.

That should give hope to Cincinnati fans and they will hope that his agent, whom he shares with Ja'Marr Chase, can work some magic.
