I don't see it. Not a slight against Tyler. That's a lot for one year of control. I'd do it in a heartbeat, though.
If someone wanted Tee at this point, I'd make them pay an insane price. I love him as a player and don't want him to go. That said, given the future of the team an contracts, they need to find a path to extra high draft picks if they can get them.
I'm not a capologist, but I've racked my brain trying to envision a scenario where they can field a team with Burrow, Chase, and Higgins all getting paid the contracts they've earned. It's going to be damn near impossible beyond th most brilliant and lucky draft strategy imaginable. It would take the Bengals out of the outside free agent game basically for the duration of Joe's tenure.
I hate getting rid of any of them, but it's something they have to consider if someone is willing to pay up.
