Contract situation in flux The Browns have not offered Higgins a contract extension, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports. Impact It's a bit surprising to hear the Browns' front office hasn't offered Higgins any type of deal considering the 26-year-old appears eager to re-up for his sixth season with the franchise. After settling for a one-year contract last offseason near the league minimum, the 2016 fifth-round pick put together a career year after the season-ending injury to Odell Beckham (knee) despite playing just 13 games. Higgins will surely be in line for a pay raise this go around, but in a year where the salary cap took a dramatic fall, the veteran receiver may struggle to really net a lucrative long-term deal.
