I don't fully blame the Bengals if they do tag him, as they probably want to see if his 2020 was an anomaly or not. With that said, if he does really well in 2021 too, his stock will go up further, costing even more money. It's more risky, but it could save them money in the long run if they give him a multi-year deal now vs waiting another year.
It is, but it is also risky to give him a multi-year deal hoping his injury plague is behind him. I mean, he's really only had one good year. If it were me, I'd tag him, then if he gets through next season healthy and productive, you either resign him to a longer contract or draft a DE to replace him in the 1st rd.
