Tee Higgins Addresses Rumor About Joe Burrow’s Future With Cincinnati Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (9) and wide receiver Tee Higgins (5) celebrate the win after overtime of the NFL Week 17 game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Denver Broncos at Paycor Stadium in downtown Cincinnati on Saturday, Dec. 28, 2024. The Bengals took a 30-24 win in overtime to remain in the post season chase.

CINCINNATI — There’s been plenty of speculation about Joe Burrow’s future with the Cincinnati Bengals in recent months.

Tee Higgins has had enough. The Bengals star receiver shot down the latest internet rumor.

Former NFL quarterback Kurt Benkert turned Burrow’s latest social media post into a question about his future.

Burrow put a bow on 2025 with an Instagram post that included multiple photos of him, including one from Sunday’s season finale against the Browns. The post included the caption: “2025 was…. Adversity.” Burrow also included the song “Good Life” by Kanye West.

Benkert used the song lyrics to imply that Burrow was sending everyone a message about his future.

In the song, West says: “The good life, it feel like Atlanta. It feel like L.A., it feel like Miami. It feel like N.Y., summertime Chi’, Now throw yo’ hands up in the sky”

“Anyone peep that?” Benkert asked.

“No dice,” Higgins responded.

While Burrow didn’t have the season he wanted to have and the Bengals underachieved, finishing 6-11, including a 1-8 record when Burrow was injured, there’s absolutely no reason to think the star quarterback wants out of Cincinnati.

Higgins’ response is another indication that the star quarterback is focused on making the Bengals the best team they can be.

“I’m really proud of what I did this year. I came back from an injury faster than any human ever has,” Burrow said after Sunday’s season finale against the Browns. “I’m really proud of that. I played some really good football when back. I had one bad game, and you certainly don’t want those, but I won’t lose my mind over that. I played some really high-level football.”

Burrow and the Bengals went 5-3 in games he started. He completed 66.8% of his passes for 1,809 yards, 17 touchdowns and five interceptions. He missed nine games after suffering a grade 3 turf toe injury that required surgery.
