The Browns’ receiver, Rashard Higgins, will become a free agent on March 17. He doesn’t want that to happen.
Higgins, who appeared on Friday at 850 ESPN Cleveland, made it clear that he wants to stay with the Browns.
“I’m excited,” said Higgins. “We want to see when we can complete this contract. . . We want it to be with the Browns. It’s in the air now. We don’t have any contracts with the guys, so everything is up now. . . . Tell [G.M.] Andrew [Berry] to send the papers and I’m signing wherever I have to sign. “
This is not exactly a strong position for Higgins, who appeared in 13 games with six starts in 2020. He also picked up 37 passes for 599 and four touchdowns in 2020. Higgins finished second in the team in receiving yards of the regular season and led the Browns in the 2020 postseason with 116 receiving yards.
Higgins won $ 910,000 in 2020. In the absence of a new deal with the Browns, he becomes a free agent on March 17 at 4:01 pm Eastern time.
