Do the Bengals Have a Viable Replacement Option for Critical WR Tee Higgins in 2024?
Cincinnati is going to be struggling with the salary cap in future years and can save money by letting their target man go.
The Cincinnati Bengals are going to have a lot of options during the 2024 free agency window but what most people are talking about is whether or not the team will extend elite wide receiver Tee Higgins. Higgins has been an excellent option since he was drafted with the thirty-third overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. While the team doesn’t have a tight end, they have a tendency to utilize the 6’4″ wide receiver with long arms in that same capacity as he is certainly their physical option down the field. The problem is he will be an expensive option to retain.
