think we need to be open to all options. If we get some insane offer for him it should be in the cards. I don't think Tee is going anywhere
though from everything we have heard from Duke, Zac and the FO. But it is also a good way to blow smoke and make a team offer more
than they normally would for a proven WR that could be a #1 on a lot of teams.
You build winning teams from the trenches out and we have Burrow and will extend Chase. I think if we build around these 2 we will be
fine but I am also just fine with keeping Tee as well. I think this team is different from those in the past that didn't win with 2 top WR's.
We can win a SuperBowl with Tee if we extend him and maybe even a few. But will have to draft very well. Also, if we extend Tee now in
a few years we can extend Chase no problem as the contracts would offset each other as far as the time goes.
We've been burned far too much in the past decade for going with an unproven draft pick over the known commodity (Ogbuehi/Fisher over Whitworth, Shawn Williams over Nelson, Redmond/Hopkins over Zeitler, the list goes on), so yeah, I'm thumbing down a suggestion of a trade for picks all day, every day.
Also saw my Jays trade Halladay to the Phillies for Kyle the POS Drabek, Travis D'Arnaud whom we never used and traded him away (with Syndergaard) for R.A ******* Dickey and Michael Taylor (who never made it past AAA with us and had only 37 games in the majors, with negative WAR), while Halladay went on to pitch a perfect game, a No Hitter in the playoffs, win the Cy Young first time out and the jays had a shitty rotation for the next 3 years.
And then coming back to the NFL: the Colts never traded Wayne when they had Harrison. The Rams never traded Holt when they had Bruce. Ditto Tampa with Godwin and Evans.
Trade a #1 WR for picks and weaken our offense long term? **** that.
