Check out the latest news and notes around the NFL.
Tee Higgins wants to stay with Bengals, long-term deal hasn’t happened
Tee Higgins reportedly wants to stay with the Bengals, but a long-term deal that would keep him there beyond 2024 hasn’t happened.
Fantasy Impact
There had been trade rumors around Higgins earlier in the offseason after he didn’t get the long-term deal he was looking for. Higgins has said he wants to remain with the Bengals, but it is unclear if the two sides will be able to come to an agreement. This will remain a situation to monitor as we near the start of training camp.

Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald talked about the improvement he has seen from Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Fantasy Impact
“His practice habits are awesome,” Macdonald said. According to Henderson, the feeling inside the organization was that Smith-Njigba really improved in that regard as last season went on and he showed out at practice on Thursday.

Eric Gray getting run with first-team in camp
Eric Gray reportedly got “a lot of run” with the first-team offense at practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
The Giants signed Devin Singletary to seemingly be the starter this season, but it is no guarantee that he’ll be the workhorse. Gray did not play much as a rookie, but he’ll have the chance to play a bigger role this season in a wide open Giants backfield with the departure of Saquon Barkley.
