According to Adam Schefter just a bit ago, Cincinnati Bengals WR standout Tee Higgins is in Cincinnati today to sign his franchise tag with the intentions of showing up and playing.
Tee Higgins has been the center of the newest Cincinnati Bengals fanbase drama due to the contract situation. He’s stated at least 150 times now he wants to stay a Bengal. Tee is easily one of the most lovable Cincinnati Bengals we’ve had come through the city. Every part of me wishes the two sides could make it work, but….
We all know that him signing a longterm deal is not going to happen unless he defies his berated agents’ wishes, and Mr. Mulugheta has a whole lot of pride when it comes to getting his clients what they want, as he should. As a fan, you can’t hate him. We can only hate the business side.
The only way to make everybody happy is if Tee Higgins goes out a Super Bowl winner. If he stays & plays on the franchise tag, we could see that. Another possibility is that the Bengals could sign (franchise tag) & trade him – that is nothing Duke Tobin has ever done, so that’s also highly unlikely.
Hoping for the best, for the Cincinnati Bengals & for Tee Higgins. He’s been nothing but good to us. Treat him with respect.
