I'm no NFL salary guru, but wouldn't a franchise tag entitle him to make something like top 3 WR money?  Using the franchise tag on a WR2 seems like it would be cost prohibitive.  The franchise tag for a WR this year was just north of $18 million.

Teams cannot bid on Tee until after next season though, so we do it now to avoid this problem.
