If this was last offseason we'd have easily gotten a 1st and a 3rd. But now they're not getting the 1yr/$3m final year of his contract now, and he's not coming off a 1k season but a 600 yard season.

Well summed up and I think it's a point overlooked: The Bengals are likely past the point in the process where they can get much value for Tee. It's why I think they tag him until he can pursue free agency on his terms. It will be similar to Cousins when in Washington. Tag after tag before the player gets full rights to control his future.
