Quote:TEE HIGGINS (WR, BENGALS
PROJECTED TAG: $20.7M
CURRENT MARKET VALUE: $16.5M
Higgins has been locked into the WR2 role for 4-straight seasons in Cincy, and has likely been offered contracts reflecting that. A franchise tag offer would represent an overpay based on this approach, making it extremely likely that the near 25-year-old hits the open market this March. Will another franchise value him at a WR1 ($22M-$25M per year) level?

Quote:CHRISTIAN WILKINS (DT, DOLPHINS)
PROJECTED TAG: $20.9M
CURRENT MARKET VALUE: $20.2M
Despite a career year in 2023, Wilkins doesn’t quite have the total resume to mathematically calculate toward the $22M-$24M deals that Quinnen Williams, Daron Payne, or Jeffery Simmons have locked in. But he’s certainly in that conversation. Miami enters the 2024 offseason $41M of salary cap in the red, so a $21M franchise tag hit out of the gate isn’t ideal. This could be a situation to monitor in the coming weeks.
