 All right, I know it's officially after 12 p.m. So the legal tampering period is here But in the move that the Cincinnati Bengals made days ago was placing the franchise tag on wide receiver T Higgins and when you place the franchise tag on a player, then they can start tampering Wow back but with T Higgins With him being franchise tagged this this could go a couple of different ways for the Cincinnati Bengals T Higgins is nice T Higgins is a number one wide receiver T Higgins is a ball I know he dealt with some injuries Recently and I know Jamar Chase he dealt with some injuries recently too but T Higgins is not both of them obviously nice both of them could play some football and With the Bengals, I always felt I think most people always felt like when it came to paying both T Higgins and Jamar Chase Not that it's impossible. It is possible in this ways to work around a salary cap and whatnot But figured a lot of us felt like it was highly unlikely that both of them end up getting their bread from Cincinnati Again, it's still possible. It can still happen, but I just I don't think it's likely and We all kind of all got the vibe that the priority would be on them paying Jamar Chase instead of T Higgins Jamar Chase was I think number four overall picking and just because he was drafted that high doesn't mean that he Would automatically be the priority, but it just seems like He would be the priority in Cincinnati But with T Higgins getting franchise tag like I said, this could go a couple of different ways Him being franchise tag does not mean it's over him, but him requesting a trade. It's like, oh, he requested a trade He was old from Cincinnati. Oh, but that also does not mean that it's over We've seen this happen in the past with so many different players They get franchise tag players don't like being franchise tag They want long-term deals and if they can't get a long-term deal from that current team, then it's a business move That's it. It's just a business move This is letting the bingles know like hey, let's get a long-term deal done If y'all don't want to get a long-term deal done with me Let me go somewhere where somebody will get a long-term deal done with me because I want my bread Staying in the AFC North. We saw this just last year with Lamar Jackson The Baltimore Ravens plays the franchise tag on Lamar Jackson and Lamar Jackson put out that series of tweets that thread like a Request to be traded like 20-something days ago and they haven't on my request I'm requesting a trade again, and it was like, oh my goodness not Lamar Jack So we saw how that worked out a deal was done now with T. Higgins again It's a bit different because of the Baltimore Ravens. There wasn't no other quarterback for them to turn to With the Cincinnati Bengals again I think the priority is Jamar chase as far as deals getting done now You can't rule out because Bengals got some money to play with you can't rule out Him playing on a tag because if the Bengals feel like you know what we don't want to trade him Then he could end up playing on the franchise tag this year and then next year. He could end up being a free agent If the Bengals chose not to tag him two years in a row And then he can go on elsewhere after that and at this point I'm not sure about any other receivers who will be entering free agency at that time, but He would be one of the top free agents available next year if he plays on a franchise tag and they let him walk next year So that's something to think about But you know Bengals like they they don't want to go the comp pick route for T. Higgins And what I mean when I say that is if he were to walk in free agency Bengals would get a compensatory pick the following year You know, they don't want to do that. They don't want to do that for sure So that's what the franchise tag is all about man. It's just a so ugly side of business for the players It does give the franchises the teams a whole lot of control that I know the players just get so frustrated with I'm sure T. Higgins is super frustrated right now with the Cincinnati Bengals because he wants his bread Like any of us will want our bread like think about that put ourselves in in player shoes if we had spent four years with a company and We would do for a big raise and we knew that there were a lot of other companies that would hire us like that And they'll give us a big raise like that But the company that we work for they said, oh, no, oh, you think you're getting ready to go to one of those other companies for free Without us getting anything. I know you ain't going nowhere now You will get this year you will get a significant raise from us But it'll only be for this year and that's it. It won't be for the following And I know when we get raises at our regular jobs It is it goes into effect right then and there so saying that to for us with regular jobs Like, okay, cool. That doesn't sound so bad But in the NFL, we know it's a lot different because it's only for one year and one year only then after that Who knows what it'll be? So we'll see what happens with T Higgins Like I always say subscribe to the channel turn your notifications on because today it's starting off a bit slow But once it picks up y'all already know how it goes with NFL free agency Leave a like on the video because it helps out the channel a lot and it'll allow you to keep on getting recommended to this channel If you like it, of course, I love y'all team keep it clean I appreciate y'all and like T Higgins requested to the Bengals to be we out
