It has been a rocky road for the two parties since the end of last season.
Joe Burrow and others are back in the building for the beginning of the offseason program for the Cincinnati Bengals.
It has been an interesting offseason for the Bengals… There were solid free-agency pickups and a good draft class, but two trade requests since the end of last season.
One of those trade requests came from Tee Higgins after the Bengals placed the franchise tag on him.
There has been little to no progress since the trade request according to reports, but Zac Taylor has made it clear he looks forward to seeing Higgins for the 2024 season.
Cincinnati Bengals legend Chad Ochocinco hit on the topic recently and says he has been in contact with Higgins “a few times.”
“I think we’re going to work it out. We’ll figure it out,” Ochocinco said when asked about the contract issues between the two sides, according to TMZ Sports.
Higgins is set to make over $20 million this season with the franchise tag, but it is clear he wants long-term security as well.
Ochocinco ended his conversation with TMZ saying, “It’s business — it’s the nature of the business. He’s going to be all right, though.”
We will see what the long-term future holds for Higgins and the Bengals, but as of right now, I expect to see him suited up in week one and ready to roll.
