Youd have to do ALOT of work to make Tee work long term. Tee taking a discount would be great but you can’t expect that so paying Tee market value may just be too hard to make work. The best way i see to format it would be to add void year to the deal and pay him 40-50M this year.


Then you’d likely have to get Jamarr to do something similar.


You sign both to 3 year extensions but make it 4 year deals with both having a void year and you could absolutely take a massive cap hit for Tee in 2024 then take another massive one for Jamarr and both would have manageable base salaries but that’d be crazy even if Tee played every game

Doing all that for a guy who may get hurt week 1 is too risky


It makes much more sense to tag him and trade him to get value.

Iv never been one for letting a guy walk that has trade value

You'd just be giving up on trying to win in 2024 then because you couldn't fill out the rest of your team.
