The Cincinnati Bengals finished the 2024 NFL season with a disappointing 9-8 record, missing the playoffs for a second straight year. As they prepare for the offseason, the team has opted to franchise tag wide receiver Tee Higgins for $26.2 million, marking the second consecutive season they've taken this approach. Despite previous injury challenges, Higgins had a productive year with 73 catches and 10 touchdowns. The Bengals express commitment to securing Higgins through a long-term contract opportunity before the July 15 deadline, showcasing their focus on maintaining talent in a competitive league.
In a statement, the Bengals confirmed, "We are committed to Tee Higgins and pleased to franchise tag him again this year. We aim to reach a long-term agreement."
This year’s franchise tag for Higgins is valued at $26.2 million, reflecting his significant contributions as a key player in our offense alongside Ja'Marr Chase.
"Tee Higgins has demonstrated exceptional skills and resilience over the past five years, and we believe he will continue to elevate our game," said Bengals' management.
Despite a second consecutive year without playoff success, the Bengals remain focused on securing their talented wide receiver for the future.
