I would love if that happens, but I think you and many other Bengals fans are going to be shocked here in a couple of years. If Tee stays healthy and plays like he did last year (1300-1400 yards, 6-8 TDs) then he is going to command much more than $10m per year. Christian Kirk just received $18m per year. The Jaguars had to overpay because they are the Jags, but Tee will be in that range.

This team has too much talent to keep. Many Bengals fans think that Burrow will take a discount, but I don’t see that either. I think he could be the highest paid QB in the league as soon as next offseason. Chase will be the highest paid WR in the league in a few years if he keeps his play up, too. This team will look significantly different pretty soon. I hope you’re right, though.
