Twitter reactions and approval poll for Bengals tagging Tee Higgins – Cincy Jungle
Filed under:Higgins gave a brief post about it on Twitter.The Cincinnati Bengals have tagged Tee Higgins for the second straight season.Now, with $26 million owed to him for that tag, the two sides can ideally work out a long-term deal to keep him in the Queen City permanently. That’s at least the thought, but seeing that turned into reality will be a completely different story.That said, the Bengals have the cap space to make this happen, but with Ja’Marr Chase’s new deal on the horizon as well, the team is going to have to figure out a way to make sure the money works for all parties, a task easier said than done, especially with one of the worst defenses in the NFL needing upgrades this offseason as well. With Joe Burrow locked up for the foreseeable future, the hard part is now making sure everyone else can stay home and not be poached. Keeping Higgins for a year is a positive step.He went for 911 yards last season and has eclipsed 900 in four of his five seasons with the Bengals. While injuries have hurt his production in the past, he should be healthy and could be in store for a career year in 2025. Higgins was the team’s second-round pick in the same draft in which Cincinnati snagged Burrow.Vote below to see a gauge on how fans feel about Higgins’ tag and then also some Twitter reactions to the breaking news.Here is Higgins’ response to the tag. tag.Now, let’s see how the rest of the world reacted. “It’s just a matter of if they’re seeing things in a different light.” Duke Tobin has made it clear the Bengals want to keep Tee + Trey long-term & the comparisons they have are what’s guiding their offers. It takes two sides to agree on that value, though. The tricky part.my brain still has access to pessimistic channels, so the thought of them releasing rankins and cappa earlier than expected to absorb most of higgins’ 2nd tag has come to mind. but that’s not the dominant thought in my mind.Tee Higgins legitimately left an agent that gets players crazy guarantees. Clearly a move indicating he wants to stay in Cincinnati. The Bengals can’t have a guy make a concession for them like that and still not get a deal done. Make. It. Happen.The Bengals’ second straight franchise tag of Tee Higgins will be worth about $26.179 million, a 20 percent raise from last season’s franchise-tag deal of $21.816 million.”You see Justin Jefferson getting $35M … if I’m Tee Higgins that’s the number I’m shooting for.”@BMac_SportsTalk is surprised the Bengals placed the Franchise Tag on WR Tee Higgins once again. pic.twitter.com/EbHii0VoZCWas the first to mention the double-tag option for Tee more than a year ago when I posted a contract projection for him. Both sides should work and negotiate in good faith to secure a long-term deal for Higgins. We can infer that this is Tee’s desire due to the agent change. https://t.co/PVG8GiXnTZBengals doing Tee Higgins dirty manBengals serious about not breaking up the band by tagging Tee Higgins. Didn’t think they would go there with having to pay JaMarr Chase and their defensive needs. Where there is a will there is a way.
