Tee Higgins Requests Trade from Bengals Amid Contract Dispute

The wide receiver expresses frustration over lack of long-term extension talks, putting several NFL teams on alert for a potential trade.

Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver, has requested a trade, expressing disappointment over the lack of long-term contract talks since March 2023.
The Bengals had placed the franchise tag on Higgins, guaranteeing him a $21.8 million salary for the 2024 season, but have not engaged in extension negotiations.
Several NFL teams, including the Tennessee Titans, New England Patriots, and Carolina Panthers, are considered potential suitors for Higgins.
Higgins has been a key player for the Bengals, with over 3,600 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns in his four-year career.
The Bengals have until July 15 to negotiate a long-term deal with Higgins, but his trade request adds a significant twist to their offseason plans.
