I was told they already made the 20M over 4 yr offer to Tee and he turned it down.

All the transition tag does is allow the Bengals to match any offer that another team would make, it still guarantees the Bengals nothing in the event that they choose not to match the agreed upon offer.  Seeing how the word is that Higgins agent already refused $20M/per, it seems unlikely that the Bengals would be willing to match any offer greater than that.

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.
