The NFL's 2024 deadline for teams to extend franchise-tagged players will pass at 4 p.m. ET on Monday. Interestingly, this year's deadline is only relevant for the Cincinnati Bengals and standout receiver Tee Higgins.
Higgins remains the only franchise-tagged player who has not already received an extension. According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the 25-year-old won't be getting one this season:
Playing on the franchise tag isn't the outcome for which Higgins had hoped. He initially requested a trade but eventually sign his one-year tender. At the time, he sounded interested in continuing his relationship with the Bengals beyond 2024.
