If he accepts the other team's offer and Bengals refuse to match it the teams gives up 2 first round picks. Now that he is tagged they can trade him and any compensation from the team that accepts the trade gives up whatever they are willing to trade for him.
Well, I don't think any team will give him an offer if it would cost them 2 first round picks is what I am saying...
