It absolutely was not.
From both Higgins himself AND Arceneaux, they thought that because the Tag was applied, their mindset was that Higgins was going to be traded.
They both then said that despite that, the Bengals were rejecting all offers and were working to sign him and they realized that they wanted him to stick around, so no, the plan was to keep him in the fold 100% and NOT to trade him.
