The Cincinnati Bengals placed the franchise tag on receiver Tee Higgins on Monday as the team says they are continuing to work towards long-term extension. It was expected for the team to use the franchise tag on Higgins.
This is the second year in a row the Bengals elected to place the franchise tag on Higgins. Quarterback Joe Burrow has spent this offseason in campaigning for Higgins to be paid, along with fellow stars Ja’Marr Chase and Trey Hendrickson, but the Bengals have quite a bit of bookkeeping to do to keep all four stars together in Cincinnati.
