Bengals Ruled Out WR Tee Higgins With Concussion

Higgins, 26, is a former second-round pick by the Bengals in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Clemson. He finished the final year of a four-year, $8,686,785 rookie contract and made a base salary of $2,993,000 in 2023. 

He was set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2024 when the Bengals placed the franchise tag on him, which cost the team around $21.8 million fully guaranteed for the 2024 season. 

Cincinnati then signed Higgins to a four-year, $115 million deal that made him a top-five receiver in terms of salary.

In 2025, Higgins has appeared in 12 games for the Bengals and recorded 40 receptions for 575 yards receiving and seven touchdowns.
