CINCINNATI — Fellow NFL wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown voiced his frustrations on behalf of Bengals star Tee Higgins this week.
The Lions pass catcher noted how "hot" he'd be if he got franchise-tagged in consecutive seasons. Higgins is set to make $26.2 million on the tag this coming season unless Cincinnati works out a long-term contract with him.
"That should be illegal,” St. Brown said on the St. Brown Podcast. “I don't give a f--- what nobody says. That's so f---ed."
“I’d be so hot, I don’t care what nobody says. It is good money, but still.”
It's understandable why St. Brown or Higgins would be upset about the contract process taking this long. Cincinnati could've signed Higgins at any point over the last two negotiating cycles, but they didn't and the price just keeps rising for his services as a result.
"That should be illegal. I don't give a f*** what nobody says. That's so f***ed."
