Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is in line for a contract extension. The Bengals’ front office is busy negotiating deals for quarterback Joe Burrow, linebacker Logan Wilson and Higgins as they are eligible for their next deals.
Is it a challenge to try and find ways to keep everyone on the roster? Yes. But the Bengals view it as a good problem to have because it means they’ve drafted well in recent years and want to keep their homegrown players.
In addition to putting together what will be the largest contract the franchise has ever given a player for Burrow; executive vice president Katie Blackburn has watched the wide receiver market skyrocket over the last two years.
