Breaking News: Las Vegas Raiders Land Star Wide Receiver Tee Higgins in Blockbuster Deal
Las Vegas, NV — The Silver and Black have made a major splash in free agency. The Las Vegas Raiders have officially signed star wide receiver Tee Higgins to a 4-year, $92 mill contract, with $56 million guaranteed, making him one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL.
The deal includes a $24 million signing bonus, with a cap-friendly structure that allows the Raiders to remain aggressive in free agency. Higgins will carry a modest $13 million cap hit in 2025, giving Las Vegas the flexibility to strengthen other key areas of their roster.
A Game-Changer for the Raiders’ Offense
Higgins, 26, joins forces with All-Pro Davante Adams, creating a dynamic wide receiver duo that will strike fear into defenses across the league. After an impressive season with the Bengals, where he recorded 903 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns in just 12 games, Higgins brings both size and playmaking ability to the Raiders’ offense.
“I’m excited to be part of Raider Nation,” Higgins said during his introductory press conference. “The history, the passion, and the energy here are unmatched. I can’t wait to get to work and help bring a championship to Las Vegas.”
A Statement Move by the Front Office
General Manager John Spytek and Head Coach Antonio Pierce were instrumental in sealing the deal, targeting Higgins early in the free agency process. This signing signals the Raiders’ commitment to building a high-powered offense, with young talent and veteran leadership at its core.
“Tee is the kind of player who changes games,” said Coach Pierce. “His ability to stretch the field, win contested catches, and be a leader in the locker room is exactly what we needed.”
What’s Next for the Raiders?
With over $79 million in remaining cap space, the Raiders are expected to stay active in free agency, focusing on bolstering their defense. Rumors are swirling around potential pursuits of top defensive talent, including edge rushers and cornerbacks.
But for now, Raider Nation can celebrate. Tee Higgins is headed to Las Vegas, and the future just got a lot brighter.
