When it comes to Cincinnati Bengals free agency, it’s a little easy to look at Tee Higgins and nothing else. That’s especially the case when the Ja’Marr Chase and Trey Hendrickson contract sagas continue to go unresolved,

Selected by the New York Giants in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL draft, Slayton is a true X receiver who has eclipsed 700 receiving yards in four of his first five seasons in blue and white—despite some very inconsistent quarterback play.

The Cincinnati Bengals don’t have long to figure out what to do with Tee Higgins. Conventional wisdom says the Bengals will apply a second consecutive franchise tag on Higgins if the two sides can’t reach an agreement on a long-term contract extension by next week’s deadline to apply tags.
