The future of Tee Higgins in Cincinnati remains uncertain as he is set to play the 2024 season on the franchise tag. Despite not reaching a long-term extension with the Bengals, Higgins will stay with the team for at least one more season. The wide receiver had a challenging 2023 season, dealing with injuries and seeing a decline in production. However, both Higgins and the Bengals are hoping for a bounce-back year in 2024 to return to title contention. With Ja'Marr Chase also in line for a long-term extension, the Bengals will face challenges in securing both star receivers. As Higgins enters a crucial season, his performance will not only impact his future contract but also play a vital role in the Bengals' success. The looming question remains - will 2024 be the last season in Cincinnati for Tee Higgins?
