And this season has done nothing to assuage his durability concerns. In fact, quite the opposite. He's 147th in the league in Passer Rating When Targeted. To put that in perspective, Irv Smith Jr. is 99th. And he has no real accolades to fall back on from previous seasons. Never been an All Pro. Never made the NFL 100. Never even made a Pro Bowl. And you think someone will give up a 1st AND make him one of the Top 5 highest paid WR's in the game?
There's tons of risk with attempting to tag and trade him. The only team we know called about him was Carolina. We know they didn't offer a 1st because they don't have one. With him now on pace to not even hit 600 yards this season, we think somebody will come with a 1st and back up the Brink's truck for him?
Yes. If he wasn't injured this year, I could see teams cooling off on him, but he's young and is considered a #1. Those guys don't come off very often. He may not get top 5 money, but he's going to get top 10-15 money. It's obvious he isn't going to sign here.
Teams would much rather give up a 1 for a guy like Tee than roll the dice on an unproven college guy.
