Tee Higgins' future with the Cincinnati Bengals is still up in the air as he approaches the final season of his current contract, and he reportedly eyed Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman as a comparison point.
Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer reported on the Higgins situation Monday and noted the wideout "never requested to become the highest paid wide receiver in the NFL." Instead, he wanted something resembling the three-year, $70 million deal Pittman inked with the Colts.
Yet Conway noted Cincinnati "never approached" an average annual value of $20 million during discussions with Higgins.
