Bengals’ Tee Higgins won’t negotiate extension during season, expected to hit free agency: Source

New York Times  

Cincinnati Bengals receiver Tee Higgins will not negotiate an extension with the franchise during the season and is expected to become a free agent this offseason, according to a league source. Here’s what you need to know: Cincinnati made Higgins an offer during the offseason but he declined the deal that a source described as “low.” Higgins, the Bengals’ 2020 second-round pick, has recorded two 1,000-yard receiving seasons and 19 touchdowns in three seasons. If the Bengals put the tag on Higgins in the spring for a projected $22 million, the team would maintain exclusive negotiating rights, could bring him back for one more prime year or also have an option to tag and trade him for a premium if they feel an extension won’t happen. — Dehner Backstory Higgins totaled 3,028 receiving yards in his first three NFL seasons and has been a big part of the Bengals’ success since 2020, which includes a Super Bowl appearance in 2021.
