Joe Burrow believes Bengals can keep receiver Tee Higgins, and he’s willing to help

Associated Press  

ARLINGTON, Texas — Joe Burrow says he’s willing to do whatever he can to help the Cincinnati Bengals keep receiver Tee Higgins, who is set to be a free agent in the offseason. Whether that means the star quarterback would consider restructuring his deal, Burrow wasn’t saying after the Bengals beat the Dallas Cowboys 27-20 on Monday night. “We’ll see,” Burrow said when asked why he was confident the club would bring Higgins back. Burrow signed a $275 million, five-year extension in 2023, and the Bengals could restructure that contract to create salary cap room for other signings, including those of Higgins and Chase.
