As expected, the Cincinnati Bengals are set to place the franchise tag on A.J. Green, according to ESPN.
The Bengals currently plan to franchise tag wide receiver A.J. Green, as they want him in Cincinnati in 2020 either through the tag or a longer deal, sources told @DanGrazianoESPN and me. A good selling point for the team's No. 1 pick.

This has essentially been a done deal since the regular season, as Green missed all of 2019 with an ankle injury, essentially forcing the Bengals to use the tag on their star wide receiver.
