Rapoport: Bengals And Tee Higgins Failed To Come To Terms On Extension, Higgins Will Play On Franchise Tag In 2024

The Pittsburgh Steelers made a ton of improvements this offseason, especially to their offense, but they still have a ton of work to do to contend with the firepower of some of the other teams in the AFC North. Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens have struggled against the Steelers lately, but the Cincinnati Bengals and their high-powered offense have given the Steelers fits when Joe Burrow has been healthy. It seems that the Bengals may be losing one of their key weapons sooner rather than later, though, which would be a huge boost for the Steelers.

Wide receiver Tee Higgins has been a key cog in the Bengals’ offense since they drafted him in 2020, being maybe the best number two receiver in the league when paired with Ja’Marr Chase.
