Wide receiver Tee Higgins is reportedly "unlikely" to get a long-term contract with the Cincinnati Bengals after he signed his franchise tag tender last week, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
"My understanding of the situation is it is considered unlikely that Tee Higgins will end up getting the long-term extension that he wants," Rapoport said.
Higgins previously missed OTAs and mandatory minicamp while holding out for an extension, but never received and signed his one-year franchise tag worth $21.8 million. He will be a free agent next offseason.
