I don't know that it is negotiable, everything that I've read simply states that the team losing the player is rewarded with two 1st round picks as compensation.

That is where the traditional tag comes into play. If a team reaches out to the Bengals with an offer that they like, they could tag him with the regular tag and then trade him for the negotiated deal.
