Tee Higgins isn\u2019t bringing his contract drama to minicamp.<\/p>\n
The Bengals star, in a franchise tag standoff with the team, isn\u2019t present at mandatory minicamp this week.<\/p>\n
Higgins, who is angling for a long-term extension, has not signed his one-year tender worth around $21.8 million and cannot be fined by his absence<\/p>\n
His teammate and fellow standout receiver Ja\u2019Marr Chase, now eligible for a big-money deal of his own, is at camp, as is quarterback Joe Burrow, who missed the final seven games of the 2023 season with a wrist injury.<\/p>\n
\u201cMe and Tee are always talking. I\u2019ve seen Tee several times this offseason, he looks great,\u201d Burrow told reporters on Tuesday. \u201cWhenever he\u2019s ready to come back, I\u2019ll be excited to see him.\u201d<\/p>\n
It may be a while as Higgins continues to show the Bengals he\u2019s willing to do what he has to.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old requested a trade in March and then he, along with Chase, skipped OTAs in late May.<\/p>\n
Coach Zac Taylor didn\u2019t seem worried when his top wideouts missed the voluntary workouts.<\/p>\n
\u201c[They] are still working hard elsewhere, and they\u2019ll be back at the right times,\u201d Taylor said on May 28. \u201cAnd the beauty is we know those guys, we know what they\u2019re about and that they\u2019ll be ready and focused when it\u2019s time to come back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Higgins shared a cryptic Instagram post on May 30, featuring an array of photos, including shots of the wide receiver working out, with the caption \u201cI tell em no, they can\u2019t wait to call me selfish\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Heading into the 2024 offseason, Higgins established that he wanted either a new contract or a trade after playing out the final season of his rookie deal in 2023.<\/p>\n
The Bengals denied both requests and tagged Higgins as a franchise player just before the NFL combine in late February.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really simple: He\u2019s a good player, we want to keep him, and we have resources to do that, so we decided early to do it,\u201d Duke Tobin, the team\u2019s director of player personnel, explained at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. \u201cAnd that\u2019s where we are. We like Tee. We\u2019re a better team with Tee. With the way we managed our cap, we had the ability to put the franchise tag on him, and we did.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
While it\u2019s clear that Higgins isn\u2019t happy with the way the situation has unfolded, he did tell reporters back in April that he anticipated playing for the Bengals in 2024.<\/p>\n
\u201cI do anticipate it,\u201d said Higgins while at a youth football camp, (via WLWT). \u201cI\u2019ve grown a love for Cincinnati that I didn\u2019t think I would. [I\u2019m] looking forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old has tallied 403 catches for 3,684 yards and 24 touchdowns over four seasons with Cincinnati. <\/p>\n
He missed five games due to injury last season but managed to finish with 42 catches for 656 yards and five touchdowns.<\/p>\n
The two sides have until July 15 to negotiate a new contract extension, with a potential trade looming. <\/p>\n
The Bengals did get themselves some insurance, snagging receiver Jermaine Burton in the third round of April\u2019s draft. <\/p>\n
The Bengals start the 2024-25 season at home against the Patriots on Sept. 8.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
