Tee Higgins has made a lot of news recently due to the lingering issues surrounding his contract with the Bengals. The WR got a massive contract with the team at the start of the 2024 season. However, the specifics and timeframe have been a little confusing. Given his performance this season, the man has justified his contract with the Bengals. But how much are they offering him right now?

What is Tee Higgins’ salary?

Well, if dig into his contract, Tee Higgins will receive a base salary of $21,816,000. And everyone knows that this is a lot of money for a WR. But wait! It’s not over. Higgins will also receive an extra cap benefit totaling approximately $21,816,000. Just unreal. All of this means that the man will earn roughly double the amount he initially signed for.

While the WR has earned a lot from the NFL, his net worth is still estimated to be just $12 million. However, based on this year’s success, there is a good likelihood that this net worth will increase significantly in 2025. In just seven games, Tee Higgins has 43 receptions for 558 yards and 5 touchdowns.

But, putting aside his performance this season, would he even play for the Cincinnati Bengals next year?

For how much time did the Bengals offer the WR?

Interestingly, WR Tee Higgins inked a one-year contract with the Bengals. This means that in 2025, he will officially be a free agent. And till now the team has not offered him another contract. Although speculations about it are circulating widely nothing is clear. According to current rumors, the team will almost certainly not grant him a contract.

ESPN reporter Jeremy Fowler clarified this, stating that the Bengals have “little to no chance” of offering another contract. Tee Higgins is already a player worth over 21 million dollars, and he would be hoping to expand his fortune in the future. According to some reported projections, the man can sign a multi-year contract next year in which he will make around $25 million per year. While the money for Higgins is valid, the Bengals cannot afford it.

The team has already spent $65 million on two wide receivers, and adding another at such a high price would be a bad idea. Perhaps because of these difficulties, the team would prefer a new WR who can come in at a moderate cost. Or they can release a wide receiver and replace him with Tee Higgins. Nobody knows for certain because the final decision is still being made.

Only time will tell what the future holds for Tee Higgins. Until then, what are your thoughts on his contract situation? Do you believe the man will get a greater or lower pay next year?
