More realistically, 4yr/$100m is probably what Tee will get. Maybe 4yr/$96m if he is taking a more friendly deal but I don't know if he would have Mulugheta as his agent if he were interested in friendly deals.

AJ Brown got $25m/yr and his and Tees numbers line up pretty well over their first 3 years. DK Metcalf and Deebo Samuel also both got around $24m/yr last year and the numbers go up as the cap goes up. 

$25m/yr likely won't even be top-5 WR money by Week 1 of this season (Justin Jefferson and CeeDee Lamb eventually pushing it down) and has a good chance of only being tied for 10th by Week 1 of 2024 (Ja'Marr Chase, Jalen Waddle, Devonta Smith, Amon-Ra St Brown next offseason). So anything less than $25m/yr probably isn't even top-10 in just a year.

If you want two WRs who can be a #1 in an offense, you have to be prepared to pay for two WRs who can be a #1 in an offense. If Chase plays anywhere near like we expect him to play in 2023, and Justin Jefferson gets paid like everyone expects him to get paid, Chase is going to get at least $30m/yr. Tee isn't going to settle for 60% of what Chase is going to get.
