NFL Insider: 'Expect' Packers 'to Be in the Tee Higgins Hunt' After Loss to Eagles

The Green Bay Packers will reportedly covet wide receiver Tee Higgins in free agency.

Following a 22-10 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in their Wild Card Round playoff matchup on Sunday, ESPN's Ben Solak mentioned the Packers as a team to "expect" to be "in the Tee Higgins hunt" and could package a receiver such as Romeo Doubs in a trade for a star wideout if the team isn't successful in free agency.

Injuries to Green Bay's wide receiver room hurt the offense during its playoff loss, as Doubs and Jayden Reed both left the game due to a possible concussion and shoulder injury, respectively.

Christian Watson was already ruled out ahead of the contest after suffering a torn ACL in Week 18.

Green Bay's receivers have been consistent, but a true top option for quarterback Jordan Love has yet to emerge. No Packers player reached 900 receiving yards during the regular season despite the team owning the league's No. 12 passing attack.

While Higgins has operated as the No. 2 wideout on the Cincinnati Bengals next to star Ja'Marr Chase, he's shown that he can thrive in an expanded role.

He's surpassed 1,000 yards in two of the first five seasons of his career, with at least five touchdown receptions in every year.

In 12 appearances during his 2024 campaign, Higgins caught 73 passes for 911 yards and a career-high 10 touchdowns.

Green Bay has $51.3 million in cap space to pursue him during the offseason, via Over the Cap.

Following a swift postseason exit, the Packers would immediately give Love an elite weapon if they sign Higgins.
