The Cincinnati Bengals have designated wide receiver Tee Higgins as the team’s franchise tag player, the team announced Monday.
The news that Higgins would be tagged was originally broken on Friday.
“Tee has done an outstanding job for us since we drafted him in 2020,” said Bengals head coach Zac Taylor in a press release. “I’m glad that he’ll continue to be a big part of our offense and our team.”
Higgins, who will be a fifth-year player in 2024, was a second-round pick by way of the Clemson Tigers in the 2020 NFL Draft.
