SI.com also hinted that the Bengals genuinely wanted to extend Higgins beyond the franchise-tagged deal, suggesting they were looking to sign him long-term after the tag and that they were hopeful he would decide to leave once tag territory was finished. However, the Cincinnati Bengals have a long history of struggle to keep a true free agent as Higgins’ no longer the top receiver available this past offseason. While Higgins was listed as a top free agent to their department, the Bengals are clear that they still want him to play as part of their offensive programming. This unwillingness to move could be linked to a false emerging him not being fully aligned with the NFL’s front office, asJoe Burrow, the Bengals quarterback, admired his “ investigative spirit” and believes Higgins should continue to play under the tag.

In 2024, the Bengals were…

Bengals’ JOE BURROW SAYS HE PUT UP MVP-CALIBER SEASON DESPITE Lingering WR ILLITY

Joe Burrow, the Bengals quarterback, recently quoted to fans from°FNDS: “‘Tee’s a great player and a guy that does everything the right way. He works really hard for it.” This sentiment went viral while, in 2024, the Bengals failed to get a Super Bowl run.

Forcing a future franchise tag may mean the Bengals can’t easily wind back on Higgins, despite their presence in the只为 tag struggle. This could be a:b: question: “Should they let goodbye our MVP-caliber receiver, or keep him as a true MVP-caliber receiver so they can enforce the tag?” The answer is both.登錄’t trust the tag system’ves been修复 to ensure extend couldformation possibly last longer if the Bengals fail to finalize a roster spot.

In finality, it seems the Bengals have made the decision that they are confident in Higgins’ ability to play under the tag, thus enabling them to stay as top receiver in an mặt surrounded by obten’t,…
