There is the exclusive franchise tag (the most expensive tag), where a team has exclusive negotiating rights, and players have to either play with that team or sit out the entire season. And there is the non-exclusive version, where they can sign with another team and the current team can match or let the player go for two first-round draft picks.
So, unless something changed, really there are three categories of tags: exclusive franchise, non-exclusive franchise, and transition.
I would think the Bengals would go for the non-exclusive franchise tag, which is what teams most commonly do.
Yeah. Apparently there's only been 4 players in the last 12 years who got the exclusive tag and none in the last 6 years... so when someone just says franchise tag I think it's just generally accepted that they're talking about the non-exclusive variety.
