Late Friday night, news broke the Cincinnati Bengals were franchise tagging WR Tee Higgins. But there’s still hope they can do more than that. According to Sportskeeda’s Tony Pauline, the Bengals are hoping to sign Higgins long-term.
Reported Friday afternoon before the news of Higgins being tagged, Pauline hears the Bengals hope to extend Higgins to a multi-year deal.
“Media reports say the Bengals are expected to place the franchise tag on Higgins to keep him with the team in 2024. But I’ve been told the team wants him longer than just next season.
