Tough call IMO.
Tez is an impact player and as you said, the heart and soul soul of the D.
However, when you take account the NFL's extremely short (and seemingly targeted) leash with Tez...combined with Tez's own reluctance to avoid questionable hits and tactics, then it becomes a roll of the dice.
Add to that the fact that Tez still leads with his head too often, making him prime for more concussions...I would be very nervous about giving him an extension.
Just my opinion though, tough decision for the Bengals.
