Don't agree with you. First off, he's not going to break the bank, imo, and if they can't sign Tee then he becomes even more important. Secondly, he has not only become a huuuge asset for Burrow and the offense but he's become a primary option in this offense and not what CJ was here for. Hurst now requires actual awareness in both underneath and downfield coverage which takes a LB or S away from the LOS in the run game and also takes away a defender from the WR's.
It's no coincidence this offense started to gel with him getting the ball more.
