The Cincinnati Bengals made a quick and early decision to franchise tag Tee Higgins.
While there may still be some hope that a long-term deal is struck, the signs point to either Higgins playing on the tag or being dealt somewhere that will pay him top dollar to stay around for the distant future.
However, assuming the Bengals don’t trade Higgins prior to the commencement of the 2024 season, Cincinnati will have the dynamic duo of Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins on the field together.
Troy Walters, the team’s wide receivers coach, is thrilled about that and understands just how well they play off each other.
