I am keeping the receipts on all these silly posts.
Now, whether he signs an extension is another matter.
It seems to me that the Bengals did not make solid preparations to lose both Boyd & TEE.
A 3 year deal for TEE seems like a reasonable possible outcome.
A deal in line with Washington receiver Terry Mclaurin who generally has similar roughly 1,100 yard seasons.
Mclaurin signed a 3 year $68,364,000 contract ($28,000,000 signing Bonus & $22,788,000 per year average)
*TEE would not have to be forced to play on the Tag & gets Top 10 money over a 3 year time frame that is above
the Tag.
** It has been pointed out that many of the Bengals larger contracts go for 4 years. TEE may not have total Free Agent
Leverage since the Tag is involved and may accept a 3 year deal after an injury riddled season.
**3 years is not that long of a Timeframe (easier to work in TEE money with Burrow/Chase money over only 3 years committed)
yet it would allow the Bengals Time to fully Prepare for TEE to go once the 3 years ends.
