Why the transition tag? All that does is give the Bengals the opportunity to match any offers that Higgins may receive. If the team chooses not to match, Higgins goes to another team, the Bengals receive nothing. No "rewards" to be reaped.
The only tag option that has any guarantees to it is the non-exclusive franchise tag. In that situation the team wanting to sign Higgins would sacrifice two first round draft picks to the Bengals. That is something that I cannot logically envision playing out. What team is going to dish two 1st round picks for a borderline top 10 at his position player?
But the Bengals can choose to take less than the 2 first round picks - correct ? (in draft picks and/or players)
