Chad Johnson Feels Tee Higgins, Bengals Will Work It Out amid Contract, Trade Rumors
Chad Johnson is not worried about the contract impasse between Tee Higgins and the Cincinnati Bengals.
The former Bengals star spoke to TMZ and said he's confident the two sides will reach a deal after talking to Higgins.
"I think we're going to work it out. We'll figure it out. ... It's business—it's the nature of the business. He's going to be all right, though," Johnson said.
The Bengals used their franchise tag on Higgins in March, and there has seemingly been no progress on a long-term contract. Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer reported Cincinnati's initial offer to Higgins did not even top $20 million per season.
