I'm no NFL salary guru, but wouldn't a franchise tag entitle him to make something like top 3 WR money?  Using the franchise tag on a WR2 seems like it would be cost prohibitive.  The franchise tag for a WR this year was just north of $18 million.

You are correct. 

I am just stating that they will have control over him. 

And I hate to say it, but guys like Chistian Kirk are making 18 million a year...so it'd probably be pretty safe to assume that Tee is going to want at least that. 

I am against bringing back Tee, for the record. I think his production needs to be replaced via the draft, which is VERY doable, especially this day and age. The Bengals have showed time and time again that they can draft WR.
