CINCINNATI -- What has been trending for months is finally official.
The Bengals and Tee Higgins did not reach a long-term deal ahead of Monday's 4 p.m. ET deadline, leaving the wide receiver to play for Cincinnati on the one-year franchise tag in 2024.
It also puts Higgins in a unique category. Of the eight players who were designated as franchise players in March, Higgins is the only one who did not receiver a multiyear deal by Monday's deadline for players who received the franchise or transition tag to reach long-term deals.
