He said Tee is the best locker room guy there is. Has never once complained about anything, such as last year when he was eligible for an extension and it never came.

Never complained about being "2nd-fiddle", stepped up when JC went down.

The only reason I ever wanted Tee gone was because I think he "earned it", but this team is much better with him on the team

If the offer is accurate, we're almost giving him that amount already.    Sign him.  That money will be more than reasonable down the road.   A room that features Chase, Tee and Burton is a long term excellent WR room for the next 4 years.

Just get it done and stop messing around with it and creating ill will.  I realize that NFL players are an entitled lot, but you need to check your boxes (for Hendrickson too):
    Give them no reason to worry about money for 4 years
    Give them a competitive salary (what they have earned)
    Treat them with respect (don't wait a full year to talk to your player cuz you don't like their agent)

I doubt 23 mil a year is what his agent wanted.   I'm thinking closer to 25 - 27.   If this is what he's asking it seems like he is wanting to stay.

In the next couple of years we're going to have to upgrade the IOL room, CB room and LB room.   Let this be the year we shored up OT, TE and WR
