The Cincinnati Bengals and Tee Higgins have had a long, drawn-out contract saga. It goes back to last year when they franchise-tagged Higgins without any intention of trying to extend him to a long-term contract.

Multiple teams inquired about the availability of franchise-tagged Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, but Cincinnati's appetite for parting with the No. 2 receiver remains unclear, according to reports.

The Cincinnati Bengals aren't keen on trading receiver Tee Higgins, even as contract negotiations continue to stall.
