If any of the Tags were applicable in this situation, I would think that the non-exclusive franchise tag would be fitting.  However, with the volume of WR talent that comes out every single draft class, I can't really envision any team willing to give up two 1st round picks to sign Tee Higgins right now.

Daniel Jeremiah released his Top 50 prospect rankings earlier this week.
11 WRs were in that list.

This looks to be a good draft class to find a replacement for Higgins, IMO.
The TE class doesn't seem as strong as last year outside of Bowers (who would have been rated higher than all 2023 TEs).
