Problem with tagging a player who doesn't want to be tagged is that player can choose not to sign the tag.
The team is then left forced to hold onto the cap just in case the player does sign.
The deadline for a player to sign the tag is all the way through the first half of the season.

Le'Veon Bell is a very recent example of this happening.

Do you really want the Bengals to use the tag on AJ if he doesn't want to be a Bengal?
Just let him walk and replace him with another FA or use his money for extensions of other guys.
