The Bengals placed the franchise tag on Tee Higgins on Monday. It was an expected move, but wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase sure seemed surprised.

Chase posted a picture of Joe Burrow on his Instagram story with a GIF that said "WHAT?"

He also tagged Higgins in the post.

While it sounds like Chase is surprised, the tag was intevitable.

Now it's up to the Bengals and Higgins' camp to reach a long-term deal in the near future.
