There has been a lot of smoke around the Cincinnati Bengals extending wide receiver Tee Higgins lately. Reports of a contract being done, paired with the Bengals social media team posting a lot of Higgins content have had fans on the edge of their seats waiting for an announcement.
To some, it feels like a deal is imminent, but to some around the league, they still don’t see how the Bengals can pay Higgins while also locking down Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase to long-term deals.
Per Jeff Howe of The Athletic, some league executives still think the Bengals should prepare to lose Higgins after the 2023 season, siting how much it would cost and how impactful Chase is.
