I don't know all the details of NFL contract rules. Can Bengals just simply remove the franchise tag and let him go free agent to another team ?

I have seen Bengals players that did not want to be here. They became a cancer in the clubhouse and only helped the team lose. So when a player says he wants out of Cincinnati now, as Tee Higgins, better to get the player out of here. The Bengals have a team that wants to play and win, so why go backwards into Bengals teams that had players that did not want to be here.

If anybody knows the NFL rules on this, because I do not. Can Bengals just simply remove the franchise tag, save 21 million, and focus on going forward without Higgins ?....or is it past a deadline on removing the tag ?

Either Way, GO BENGALS

How do you grade the Geno Stone signing.

SUPER BOWL!

I'm going to go with Cam Sample DE/Nickle DT.
He has the potential to be a 5-10 sack guy and he can move into DT position on third downs and create havoc.
