Bengals Franchise Tag Tee Higgins
Higgins Gets One-Year Tender Offer Worth $21.8 Million
The Cincinnati Bengals have officially tagged wide receiver Tee Higgins with a one-year tender offer worth roughly $21.8 million. The move keeps the 23-year-old playmaker in Cincinnati for at least one more season.
Bengals Designate Higgins as Franchise Player
The Bengals announced the franchise tag designation on Monday, March 7, 2023. By placing the tag on Higgins, the team prevents him from becoming an unrestricted free agent and ensures that he remains under contract for the 2023 season.
Higgins Expected to Play for Bengals in 2023
The franchise tag is typically used as a short-term solution to keep valuable players on the roster while negotiating a long-term contract. The Bengals and Higgins are expected to continue working towards a long-term deal, but the franchise tag guarantees that Higgins will be playing in Cincinnati next year.
