Tee Higgins' day was made in more ways than one on Tuesday in Cincinnati.

First of all, after months—check that—years of contract negotiations with the Bengals, the 26-year-old star officially signed a four-year, $115 million extension that includes two years of guaranteed money.

Pretty good.

Secondly, after Higgins tweeted last December that they "need a Shake Shack" in Cincinnati, his wish is coming true. As shared by WLWT TV, the popular fast-casual food chain announced that they'll be opening a restaurant in the city's Clifton neighborhood next Wednesday, March 26.

Higgins naturally approved, posting the saluting emoji on X this afternoon:

For the record, you can buy about 2,875,000 ShackBurgers with Higgins' yearly salary.

Not bad. Not bad at all.
