It's better all around to sign Tee to a longer contract now. I get the feeling that Tee is willing to be a number 2 opposite Chase, but not at a big discount.
I dont know if Tee would be willing to give any kind of discount if Burrow gets all he can and becomes the highest paid player in the NFL. Why would Tee take less to keep the team together if Burrow doesnt? I think the Burrow contract sets the tone. If Burrow wants to be the highest paid player in the NFL why wouldnt Tee or Chase go for everything they can?
