Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has yet to receive the long-term contract he's been hoping for, and it sounds like it won't be happening anytime soon.
According to ESPN's Ben Baby, Higgins and the Bengals "haven't had negotiations for a new contract in more than a year."
After receiving the franchise tag earlier this offseason, Higgins requested to be traded from Cincinnati. However, the 2020 second-round pick later said he intends to play for the Bengals in 2024. He skipped the start of the team's voluntary workouts, as did star receiver Ja'Marr Chase, who is also waiting to receive a new deal.
