Bengals Receiver Tee Higgins is Only Franchise Tagged Player That Hasn't Signed Extension

The Bengals used the franchise tag on the 25-year-old in March.

CINCINNATI — Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins is the only franchise or transition tagged player that hasn't received a long-term deal this offseason.

The Buccaneers agreed to a four-year, $84.1 million deal with Antoine Winfield on Monday afternoon, which made him the highest-paid defensive back in the NFL.

Meanwhile, the Bengals and Higgins have until July 15 to agree to a long-term extension. If the two sides don't agree to a new deal, then he'll play on the franchise tag, which is a one-year contract worth $21.8 million.

Higgins has been working with personal trainer David Alexander at DBC Fit in Miami. It doesn't feel like the Bengals will reach a long-term deal with the 25-year-old wide receiver before the deadline, but stranger things have happened.

Tee Higgins is now the only franchised or transitioned tagged player without a long-term deal. That July 15 deadline will be a bit different this summer. https://t.co/8qz4dcLQ4h
