See the packers and chiefs w Adam’s and hill, for example.
No this is actually a reality they'll have to deal with. I love Tee and the amazing upside of Burrow/Chase/Tee long term. Let's admit though that it will take 23-25M/yr and dealing him would return a slew of picks vs how messy franchising him (and not having it to use) could get.
A lot has to do with how quick they get Burrow's pay scale set and how well the young defenders improve. They may have to overpay guys like Hendrickson or Reader for continuity. Optimistically, you hope more guys like Jonah and Wilson get settled this offseason and the older guys take team friendly deals. Realistically though, they'll lose some guys and players won't develop and we will need Tee's trade return and money spread over multiple positions. I hope I'm wrong, I'd love to see these guys together and dominate.
