Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins signs 1-year franchise tender

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins signed his one-year franchise tender for the 2024 season, securing a $21.8 million deal. Despite uncertainties about his long-term future, Higgins will team up with Ja'Marr Chase for another season. If a deal isn't reached by July 15, Higgins could become a free agent next year. Bengals coach Zac Taylor expressed excitement about having Higgins back. Higgins, overshadowed by Chase, has been a valuable asset with impressive stats. The Bengals are also looking to integrate new talent like Jermaine Burton into their receiving corps.
