I'm not sure that the Bengals can get a 1st round pick for Higgins, particularly in light of his health and performance last season. If they force him to play on the tag; I fear that we'll have a situation similar to what we went through with Jesse Bates, and many will suggest that he's playing 'cautiously' if he's not balling it out every time he hits the field or misses a catch.
Just look at our history with tagging players, it isn't good, like, at all....
About every single one of them had the worst year of their careers after being tagged. Bates, AJ Green, Nugent, Graham and there are
many more.
I know that when healthy Tee is a damn good #2 WR and a great comfort blanket for Burrow with his size as Higgy says, but our history
isn't good with tagged players and it is not like Tee is always healthy either. Nothing wrong with keeping our options open.
