NFL Trade Rumors
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence was tasked with recruiting WR Tee Higgins to Jacksonville should he hit the open market, he admitted that he would love reuniting with him.
“Tee’s great,” Lawrence said, via Jags Wire. “Who knows what’s going to happen. Tee’s awesome. We have a history, for sure. That guy, no matter where he goes, obviously I’d love to be throwing to him again, but no matter where he goes he’s going to be a star–he already is. I know Cincinnati wants to keep him, Joe’s (Burrow) been putting the pressure on them over there.”
Lawrence said that his relationship with Higgins dating back to their collegiate days at Clemson together is something that he believes would entice the star receiver to join him in Jacksonville.
“What’s my best pitch?” Lawrence asked. “Obviously I’m sure, he’s got the relationship with Joe, if everything goes well I’m sure he wouldn’t want to leave, but if that wasn’t the case, I think I definitely would be up next as far as Tee and our relationship and what we’ve done in the past.

Every day is a challenge, every day is hard hard work, but it is one that for this dream to come true is worth doing. I’m doing everything I can to become a better player on the field and a better person off the field, so I’m really looking forward to this season.”
Rees-Zammit also mentioned that he is excited to play for new HC Liam Coen, given what he was able to accomplish during his time with the Buccaneers.
“They are another reason I wanted to sign for the Jaguars. It’s so exciting this project,” Rees-Zammit noted. *“It’s something I want to be a part of, I want to learn as much as I can. The Buccaneers offense was so good last year, and we have some...
