In recent news, Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is not currently under contract with the team as they have placed the franchise tag on him. Higgins desires a long-term deal and has expressed interest in being traded, although he has also stated that he would like to remain with the Bengals. The exact recording date of an appearance on the I Am Athlete podcast is unknown, but in it, Higgins emphasized his appreciation for the team and the city of Cincinnati, stating that he would love to continue playing for the Bengals.
Despite this, there is a risk that the Bengals could rescind Higgins’ franchise tender at any time, making him a free agent later in the year. However, some believe that Higgins should report to camp and focus on having a standout season to earn a significant contract, while others argue that his performance over the past four years should already merit a lucrative deal if he hits free agency in March 2025. It is unlikely that the Bengals will offer Higgins a long-term contract before July 15th when he must make his decision about whether to accept the franchise tender or hold out for a better deal.
Overall, it remains uncertain what will happen next for Tee Higgins and his future with the Cincinnati Bengals. However, one thing is clear – this talented wide receiver has earned attention from teams around the league and may have some exciting options ahead of him once his current contract situation is resolved.
