Wide receiver Tee Higgins is still waiting for an extension from the Cincinnati Bengals.
The two-time 1,000-yard wide receiver is currently away from the team during OTAs as he awaits a possible pay raise.
While away from the team, he has been working out and staying in shape.
Recently, he posted a cryptic image of him working out.
The caption, via insider Ari Meirov, reads:
“I tell em no, they can’t wait to call me selfish.”

Could Higgins be revealing that this what the Bengals might say about him if he doesn’t accept a possible contract offer?
Who knows what the reasoning behind this post is, but it certainly isn’t anything out of the ordinary.
Players who want new contracts always tend to send out cryptic messages to fuel the fire of reports and rumors.
All everyone can do is just try and read between the lines.
At this current juncture, Higgins is not with the team and doesn’t have a deal.
There are plenty of teams that could use him on their roster as a top receiver for sure.
If you are the Bengals, you need to find a way to keep him in the building.
The team already lost former Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon and former 1,000-yard receiver Tyler Boyd to the AFC South.
They cannot afford to lose another key piece.
Higgins is one of the bright, young stars in the league.
Even though Cincinnati also needs to get a deal done with All-Pro receiver Ja’Marr Chase, they would be wise to give Higgins his money too.
