Bengals wide receiver drama intensifies when they sign a top-2024 free agent.
If you haven’t guessed it already, the Cincinnati Bengals’ biggest drama this offseason will revolve around what to do with their excellent wide receiver Tee Higgins. The team has been very clear up to this point that they expect the star wide receiver back for the following season, even with the $23 million salary cap hit if he returns to the team on the franchise tag.
While it is true that Cincinnati has the sixth most cap space of any football team with just over $61 million available for the upcoming season, it is equally important to realize that this money will quickly disappear in subsequent seasons following the massive contract extensions of Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase.
Cincinnatians are eager to learn what the team intends to do with their outstanding wide receiver.
