Analyst claims Tee Higgins is now most overpaid participant on Bengals roster

What else does Tee Higgins should do to get respect?

The bodily large receiver has 4,595 yards and 34 touchdowns in 5 seasons regardless of lacking 14 video games.

Plus, he performs throughout from the best receiver within the sport, Ja’Marr Chase, which suggests he isn’t getting as many targets as he doubtlessly may.

And but, Brad Gagnon of Bleacher Report labeled him essentially the most overpaid participant on the Cincinnati Bengals’ roster.

Right here’s Gagnon’s argument:

I wrote on this spot final 12 months that the $21.8 million franchise-tag price is foolish for a participant who has by no means gone over 75 catches, 1,100 yards or seven touchdowns in 4 non-Professional Bowl campaigns. He did rating 10 touchdowns in 2024, however the remaining stays true for a participant now making $28.8 million per season.

In fact, this take may partly be to attract consideration to the piece, as a lot of different star gamers had been on the record: the Buffalo Payments’ Joey Bosa, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ Trevor Lawrence, the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs’ Travis Kelce, the Los Angeles Chargers’ Khalil Mack, the Dallas Cowboys Dak Prescott, and the San Francisco 49ers’ Nick Bosa.

Higgins, in fact, had his finest efficiency final 12 months when it mattered most, towards the Denver Broncos in primetime with a playoff place on the road. Watch highlights of that sport (and others) under.
