It was only a matter of time after the Cincinnati Bengals announced they would likely use the franchise tag on Tee Higgins for a second year in a row for them to pull the trigger, which they did on Monday.
Shortly after the move was made, Ring of Honor wide receiver Chad Johnson joined ESPN’s First Take, and he didn’t hold back.
“It’s disrespectful,” said Johnson. “All it’s saying is the first year, you tagged me. Okay. You want me to bet on myself, see if I can repeat it, and do it again.
