Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase were recently on Up and Adams where Kay Adams asked them which defensive player they’d like to see join the Cincinnati Bengals. Both selected defensive players who are currently under contract with other teams, meaning the Bengals will have to trade everyone.
First, Ty Higgins said he would like to see Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffrey Simmons play for the Bengals. It’s unclear whether the Titans will listen to offers for the talented defensive tackle.

Simmons ranks first among defensive tackles in pass-rushing grade at 90.9. He also led the team with nine sacks and had a 19.3% pass rush win rate. It would likely take multiple high-value draft picks for the Titans to consider trading him.
Next, Ja’Marr Chase mentioned a player who is more likely to move. He said he would love to add Maxx Crosby to the team.
Crosby said he doesn’t see a future for the Raiders. The 28-year-old No. 10 overall pass rusher will likely be the starting point for trade discussions between the Bengals and Raiders. Crosby has 69.5 career sacks, 10 of which occurred in the 2025 season.
Would you be willing to accept the Bengals trading draft capital to add a seasoned veteran defensive player?
