Is anyone really suprised by this?

No, I'm not. 

What surprised me was slapping the franchise tag on Higgins and making him one of the highest paid WR's in NFL for one season.  When they had said they wanted to work out a long contract with Chase.  If they so make this contract with Chase, do you realize how much money they will be paying Chase and Higgins in 2024.  Plus Higgins isn't happy.  He wanted to go Free Agency last March, long term contract to a team that wants him long term.  Top players hate franchise tag, because if they get a bad injury they lose out on free agency big contract to a new team.  

Higgins spent 2023 limping around saying he couldn't play as he waited for Free Agency, so I look for 2024 to be more of the same, only Bengals are paying him a lot now.  

No, I'm not surprised Higgins may not play.  Saw this coming when he was ticked off about getting slapped with the franchise tag and begged Bengals to let him out of it. 

What does surprise me is Mike Brown came out of a coma or something and took control of team again at age 127 years old, and has ticked off Chase and Higgins.  The team was running fine under Katey and others, but Old Man Potter came wheeling back into the movie. The NFL is amazed Bengals have made both top WR's unhappy, but it appears Mike Brown has taken his Geritol and running Dictator over things again.
