Tee Higgins wants to stay with the Bengals, but with his contract expiring in 2024, he knows it\u2019s out of his control due to the team\u2019s salary cap situation. He\u2019s focused on playing his best while awaiting a decision.<\/p>\n

Tee Higgins’ contract expiration threatens the future of the Bengals’ powerful trio<\/h2>\n

The Bengals’ powerful offensive trio\u2014Joe Burrow, Tee Higgins, and Ja’Marr Chase\u2014has been crucial to the team\u2019s success, but for them to stay together in 2025, Higgins will need a new contract. While Burrow and Chase have already secured long-term deals, Higgins is set to become a free agent after 2024.
\nThe Bengals face a tough challenge due to their salary cap situation, with significant money tied up in Burrow and Chase. Although Higgins wants to stay in Cincinnati, the team\u2019s ability to fit him under the cap will determine if this star trio remains intact.<\/p>\n
