Bengals To Attempt To Re-Sign Tee Higgins?
21 seconds agoThe top priority for the Cincinnati Bengals this offseason is signing All-Pro wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase to a long-term contract extension that is expected to make him the highest-paid non-quarterback in league history. Despite that, director of player personnel Duke Tobin said the team needs to find the "right number" to re-sign impending free-agent wideout Tee Higgins as well. Most folks have assumed that Higgins will leave in free agency, and even Tobin admitted "it's going to be hard" for the Bengals to bring Higgins back. Plenty of teams are in need of a receiver of Higgins' caliber, so he's likely to receive plenty of lucrative offers that will exceed what the Bengals are able to offer. It will all depend on if the 26-year-old is willing to accept a "hometown" discount to stay with Chase and quarterback Joe Burrow. Leaving Cincy would give Higgins a higher fantasy ceiling, depending on where he ends up.
