He is supposedly asking for something similar to Michael Pittman’s deal of around $23 million. I think we all agreed that was Higgins’s range when the Pittman deal was announced. There have serious no negotiations since the initial offer
If this is true, it is apparent, by the low ball offer that the Bengals never had any intention of resigning Tee

22-23 million is a fair deal for Tee. I have very serious doubts that is the holdup though. The Bengals are willing to pay nearly 22 million to Tee this year so I'm not buying their offer has never approached 20. A long term contract in the 22-23 range should be workable. It also doesn't make sense that some other team wouldn't have traded for Tee before the draft or during the draft if he wasn't demanding some crazy contract. You would think some team would be willing to trade for Tee if he was seeking a reasonable offer as suggested by Conway.
