Cincinnati Bengals Wide Receiver Tee Higgins Parts Ways with Agent

In Cincinnati, big changes are happening for wide receiver Tee Higgins. Reports confirm that Higgins has officially parted ways with his agent, David Mulugheta. This information comes as the player is currently playing on the franchise tag and aiming for a long-term deal during the offseason.

Higgins’ decision to switch agents seems to be a strategic move, especially after he has been under the franchise tag for this season. His move reflects ongoing discussions regarding his contract as he approaches free agency. Star quarterback Joe Burrow has expressed confidence that the team will do what it takes to retain Higgins. Burrow stated, “I know that I’m going to do what it takes to get him back and so is he,” indicating strong support for his teammate within the organization.

So far in this season, Higgins has caught 45 passes, racking up 581 yards and scoring five touchdowns over the course of eight games. Despite some struggles with injuries earlier in the season – missing the first two games due to a hamstring issue and additional time with a quad injury – he remains a key player on the Bengals’ roster. In his first 66 career games, Higgins has recorded over 300 receptions for an impressive 4,265 yards and 29 touchdowns.

The challenge for the Bengals will be balancing Higgins’ contract situation while also preparing to pay fellow star wideout Ja’Marr Chase, who will be looking for a substantial deal ahead of next season. As the franchise continues to work on improving their defense – which has allowed the fourth-most points per game this year – they must navigate these important contract discussions effectively.

With all these changes and pressures, Cincinnati remains hopeful about keeping their playoff dreams alive. They will face the Tennessee Titans this Sunday as they strive to continue their successful run and make critical moves for their future.
