To me this is a very interesting situation with TEE and it is Ripe for discussion & varying opinions.
Being 25 years old & looking at the available Free Agent receivers, TEE would probably be the TOP guy now if a Free Agent.
Whether he ranks 25th best or 15th best (or whatever) TEE can likely perform a #1 role for some NFL Team making him Tradeable..
The wide receiver Rookie Class looks DEEP with #1s and #2s which should at least TEMPT the Bengals a little bit with the idea
of getting a Rookie or two and maybe Trading TEE to then use that Tag Money elsewhere.
Lets say that ONE Team picking in the 2nd round in the pick 33 to 39 range offered the Bengals their 2nd round pick for TEE.
1. - I think the Bengals could get ONE Team in that 33 to 39 range to do it since TEE would be the TOP Free Agent right now with #1 potential
in a rather weak Free Agent Class.
2. - The Bengals get that 2nd round pick plus TEE's Tag dollars to work with in Free Agency to offset the loss of TEE
*Is Tag and Force to play in 2024 better than this or not.
**It likely DEPENDS on ALL of the other moves that would be made as a result of doing either option.
Each Option would set off a different Chain of Events going forward (very Hard to DECLARE which Chain ends up being better)
***Either way could Work or Fail in 2024 & then there is after 2024
