Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins didn't have much to say after he was franchise-tagged by the team on Monday ahead of NFL free agency.
Higgins, 26, was expected to receive the franchise tag despite hoping to reach a long-term contract extension with the Bengals this offseason. The veteran wideout hauled in 73 catches for 911 yards and a career-high 10 touchdowns in his fifth season in Cincinnati in 2024, and played his way to what should be a solid payday as the team's No. 2 option behind Ja'Marr Chase, though the team finished 9-8 and missed the playoffs.
