Long Run: Higgins, who is participating in the Bengals’ offseason program, told reporters that the trio intends to stay together for the “long run.” - Cincinnati currently has around $15 million in cap space. Value: Chase and Higgins accounted for 46% of Burrow’s 4,475 passing yards and 46% of his 35 passing touchdowns last season.

We don’t see eye-to-eye on what we think is best for us right now.” - He went on to say, “I’m going to have to buy into this and try to be as optimistic as possible… It’s not what I expected to happen, but it’s something that’s the reality now.” Issue: While Adams avoided naming names, it certainly sounds like he’s not satisfied with the team’s situation at quarterback (Jimmy Garoppolo). - Adams signed off on a trade to the Raiders last year because he wanted to play with his friend Derek Carr — who the Raiders went on to trade this past March. - Garoppolo has relatively underwhelming career highs in passing yards (3,978) and touchdowns (27). Future: Adams made clear that he will try to make things work — but if the team gets off to a slow start, it wouldn’t be surprising to see trade rumors percolate.

Target: The 25-year-old is reportedly [seeking]( between $25-30 million per season. - The Giants gave Dexter Lawrence a four-year, $87.5 million extension ($21.9 million per year) last month. Value: Williams emerged as one of the league’s top defensive players (regardless of position) last season, totaling 55 tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 12 sacks, and 28 QB hits (90.1 PFF grade). Image: Rich Graessle/Icon Sportswire Javonte [Javonte Williams] Broncos think RB Javonte Williams may be able to avoid PUP list Details: Sean Payton told reporters that the Broncos expect Williams, who tore his ACL and LCL last October, to [participate]( in the early stages of training camp. - Denver did not select a running back during the draft — which signals a degree of confidence in Williams’ recovery. Big Plans: Albert Breer wrote on Tuesday that Payton likely has [big plans]( for Williams, who totaled 1,219 scrimmage yards (903 rushing, 316 receiving) and scored 7 touchdowns as a rookie in 2021 — despite only starting one game. RB Depth: Samaje Perine will serve as the interim starter until Williams returns. The Broncos also have Tony Jones Jr. and Tyler Badie at the position. - Perine totaled 681 scrimmage yards (394 rushing, 287 receiving) and scored 6 touchdowns with the Bengals last season. Insurance: If Williams’ recovery hits a snag, Denver could look at free-agent options like Ezekiel Elliott, Kareem Hunt, and Leonard Fournette. Image: Dustin Bradford/Icon Sportswire Nico [Nico Collins] PFF names Texans WR Nico Collins a breakout candidate Details: PFF’s William Moy [writes]( that a “breakout could be on the horizon” for Collins, who he also named the Texans’ most underrated player. 2022 Review: Collins caught 37 passes for 481 yards and 2 touchdowns across 10 games (7 starts) last season. - He led the league in catch rate on contested targets and earned a solid 72.4 PFF grade. QB Upgrade: Moy thinks rookie quarterback CJ Stroud should lead to an elevation in Collins’ production. - To this point in his career, Collins has caught passes from Davis Mills, Kyle Allen, Jeff Driskel, and Tyrod Taylor. WR Depth: Collins will compete for targets with Robert Woods, John Metchie III, Noah Brown, and third-round rookie Tank Dell.
