Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been the subject of much speculation as of late, with the team making it clear they hope to extend him at some point this offseason.
Higgins himself added some fuel to the proverbial fire over the weekend by commenting on a post talking about his representatives and the idea of said extension.
Bengals fans, naturally, took the comments to mean something might be announced in the coming days or weeks (it’s also just a very quiet part of the offseason before the draft) on this front.
The Bengals don’t have the best history with Higgins’ agent, so much of the reaction from fans stemmed out of excitement for what it might mean to keep Higgins while also moving through some past blockages.
Here’s a look at Higgins’ tweet and the reaction.
