Wide receiver Tee Higgins, one of the Cincinnati Bengals' franchise cornerstones, has asked the team to trade him, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
"Higgins loves Cincinnati and hoped to be with the team long term, but is disappointed that the team has not had any talks about a long-term contract extension since March 2023," Schefter wrote Monday on X (formerly known as Twitter).
The Bengals franchise-tagged Higgins last month, which prevented him from hitting free agency. He's expected to earn $21.8 million this season on the tag.
Higgins, 25, has 3,684 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns in 58 career games with the Bengals.
