The Buffalo Bills are showing interest in another wide receiver. That would be none other than Rashard Higgins.
Not long after acquiring star wideout Stefon Diggs, the Bills focused their attention on Higgins. According to Ryan Talbot, Buffalo has “expressed” interest in the veteran receiver.
Via Talbot:
“The Buffalo Bills have one of the NFL’s best wide receiver trios on paper in Stefon Diggs, John Brown and Cole Beasley, but that doesn’t mean that the team is done looking at the wide receiver position in free agency.
A source told NYUP that the Bills have expressed interest in former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins. Buffalo Fanatics, a Bills fan engagement group, reported the team’s interest in Higgins on Wednesday.”
The 25-year-old Higgins flashed some potential during the 2018 season. He caught 39 balls for 572 yards and four touchdowns. However, he regressed mightily during the 2019 campaign. The fifth-year wideout caught just four passes for 55 yards and a touchdown — that lone TD was the game-winner in Week 10 against the Bills.
It is worth mentioning that Higgins did deal with an MCL sprain. That may have been the cause for why he struggled in the 10 games he appeared in.
Higgins would join a stacked Bills receiving corps. That would be because, in addition to Diggs, Cole Beasley and John Brown will return. That would mean that Higgins would compete for the No. 4 receiver spot with the likes of Duke Williams, Robert Foster, Andre Roberts, Nick Easley, and Ray-Ray McCloud.
With Tom Brady's defection to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Bills look like the team to beat in the AFC East.
