Blockbuster Trade: Bills Land All-Pro Wide Receiver in Stunning AFC Shake-Up!
The Bills pull off a game-changing deal that electrifies the league and shifts the balance of power in the AFC.
In a headline-grabbing move that’s already being called one of the biggest trades of the decade, the Buffalo Bills have acquired All-Pro wide receiver Tee Higgins from the Cincinnati Bengals, sending shockwaves across the NFL landscape.
The trade, confirmed by multiple league sources early Tuesday, sees the Bills sending a 2025 first-round pick, a third-rounder, and wide receiver Gabriel Davis to the Bengals in exchange for Higgins. The 6’4” receiver, known for his elite route-running, contested catch ability, and big-game performances, is expected to immediately elevate Buffalo’s already potent offense.
“We’re going all in,” said Bills GM Brandon Beane. “Tee Higgins gives us a true outside threat who can win against any coverage. Pairing him with Josh Allen is exactly what this offense needs to take the next step.”
Higgins, 26, has averaged over 1,000 yards in each of his last three seasons and was a key part of Cincinnati’s Super Bowl run in 2022. Though contract negotiations had stalled in Cincinnati, many were shocked that the Bengals would part ways with such a talented weapon — especially to a fellow AFC powerhouse.
With Stefon Diggs traded earlier this offseason, questions loomed about who would fill the WR1 role in Buffalo. The answer has now arrived in explosive fashion. Higgins joins a promising receiver room that includes rising stars Khalil Shakir and rookie Keon Coleman, giving Josh Allen one of the most dynamic arsenals in the league.
Social media exploded in the aftermath of the announcement, with #BillsTrade and #HigginsToBuffalo trending worldwide. Fans gathered outside Highmark Stadium in celebration, many chanting, “Super Bowl or bust!”
NFL insiders are already calling this a power-shifting moment in the AFC. With the Chiefs and Ravens reloading, and the Jets eyeing a playoff resurgence with Aaron Rodgers, the Bills’ front office made a loud and clear statement: Buffalo is not backing down.
As the 2025 season approaches, one thing is certain — with Tee Higgins in town, the Bills’ Super Bowl window just burst wide open.
