The Bengals are in the middle of making difficult rosters moves following a second straight non-playoff season. The team recently released veteran offensive lineman Alex Cappa, saw defensive end Sam Hubbard announce his retirement, and re-signed defensive lineman B.J. Hill and tight end Mike Gesicki to new deals.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase was likely watching NFL free agency right along with fans and had something to say as it unfolded. Over on Instagram, Chase posted a story that featured the text "know your worth, then add tax," which is a pretty pointed statement given his current contract extension saga with the team.

It’s possible that he may be a little confused by the Bengals using the franchise tag on Higgins when they’ve stated their hope of signing him to a long-term deal. A franchise tag can be a temporary placeholder before a long-term deal, but it can also just be a one-year contract.
