After years of grinding in the shadows of stardom, Bengals wideout Tee Higgins secures a life-changing contract — and dedicates it to the woman who inspired it all: his mom.

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has secured a new four-year contract, opting out of a fully-guaranteed $26.16 million franchise tender and a potential free agency in 2026. ProFootballTalk has terms of the deal from a source, as does Sports Illustrated 's Albert Breer.
