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.
Yep. You definitely get the intent of what I said.
From a risk management perspective...we may be better off just moving on and replacing him. It will depend on how much he costs too to some level.
It's similar to what we've went through with Jones all of these years.
