While a Joe Burrow contract extension is expected to get done, things are not looking so good with Tee Higgins.
According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, an extension for Higgins doesn’t appear close to being finalized. That’s because Higgins and his agent are likely eyeing similar deals that fellow star wideouts Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings) and CeeDee Lamb (Dallas Cowboys) get with their respective teams.
The Cincinnati Bengals don’t typically hand out major extensions during the regular season, but they’ll likely need to break that trend if an extension is done with Higgins, assuming a deal isn’t reached before Sunday’s 1 pm ET kickoff with the Cleveland Browns.
