Barring another tag (if that's even possible". Tee will be playing elsewhere next year. A team will certainly throw too much money at him for the Bengals to keep him.
Options for Bengals and Tee
1, Sign a l long term deal ((4 or 5 year) with salary increases each year, but less guaranteed money due to his injury history.
2. Tag Tee again and keep him
3. Tag Tee and trade him
I have no doubt Tee could get a 1st round and a 4th or 5th round in a trade. Bengals give permission to team they have a deal worked out the ability to negotiate long term deal with Tee
4. Let Tee enter FA, and they get the best 3rd round compensary pick in 2026 draft.

2024 may go on record as one of most underperforming teams in Bengal history. Bengal's FO has major work to do on defensive side of the ball. I say tag and trade Tee Higgins in 2025 to start with the rebuild.
