Cincinnati Bengals Exec Reveals Bold Plan For WR Tee Higgins

The Cincinnati Bengals find themselves at a crossroads with Tee Higgins, their star wide receiver.

Placing him under the franchise tag has effectively tethered him to the team for another season, despite his expressed desire to explore other opportunities. Higgins’ disappointment stems from the organization’s failure to engage in discussions regarding a contract extension.

However, the Bengals have shown reluctance to accommodate his trade request, indicating a firm stance unlikely to waver.

According to Bengals beat writer Kelsey Conway, EVP Katie Blackburn has made it clear that the team has no intentions of parting ways with Higgins. Instead, they plan to navigate the current season and evaluate their position afterward.

“The plan is to certainly get through this year. Our job is to get to these next phases start looking at the whole overall roster and see how we can fit everything together. We’ll see how it all comes out.”
