In the last 5 years, Tee Higgins has become a force in the Bengals O-line. But the franchise has kept his contract situation complicated. Last year, they placed the franchise tag on the receiver, keeping him at the team for one more year. This year, his performance was in focus. In 12 games (9 starter), he had 73 receptions for 911 yards with 10 touchdowns, the most in a 5-year NFL career till 2024.
However, the franchise’s approach hasn’t changed even this year. And his mother, Lady Stewart, became overhyped on February 18th and tweeted, “Selfish Bastards.” It was a mean dig at the franchise, forcing fans to go into a frenzy.

It comes against the backdrop of league sources claiming the Bengals were planning to sign Tee Higgins on the non-exclusive franchise tag. It opened on February 18, 4 PM ET and will close on March 4, 4 PM ET. However, some also claimed that the team wants to sign him up on a multi-year deal which they missed last year. That would be great!
Stay tuned. This story is developing.
