CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Bengals have re-signed wide receiver Tee Higgins to a one-year contract.

Higgins was designated as the teams franchise tag player on Feb. 28 and now has signed his one-year tender for the 2024 season.

“I’m excited to move forward with Tee,” said Bengals head coach Zac Taylor. “He’s done a great job handling his situation, and we are happy to get him back in the fold so we can start working toward a great 2024 season. The locker room will be excited to have him back around.”

After being selected in the second round of the 2020 draft by the Bengals, Higgins has appeared in 58 regular-season games while making 53 starts. He has caught 257 passes for 3,684 yards and 24 touchdowns, including back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons in 2021 and 2022. 

Among Bengals players in their first four seasons, he ranks fourth in total receptions.
