Tee Higgins contract: Bengals franchise-tagged WR gets no extension.

Category: Sports

The NFL's 2024 deadline for franchise tag players to sign multi-year contracts has passed, with Tee Higgins of the Cincinnati Bengals being the exception. Higgins is set to make $21.8 million for the upcoming season. The Bengals are unlikely to extend his contract, making him a potential free agent in 2025. Despite being valued by the team, Higgins' future with the Bengals is uncertain due to financial constraints caused by other big contracts, notably Ja'Marr Chase's impending deal. The evolving wide receiver market suggests Higgins could command a significant salary increase in 2025.
