What did we see that year?
A WR was still taken super early (Higgins) and played a good amount while AJ Green cost the team $18.1 mill for a 1-year rental.
Personally, unless there can be a guarantee Higgins is signed to a long-term contract, I don't want to see $20+ mill going toward a 1-year rental, especially if a draft pick is invested in Rds 1-2 as well.
Either sign him to a new deal or let him walk and get a new guy in the draft or outside FA to replace.
I would try to make some sort of Targeted Move with Tee if letting him leave.
For example: Say the Giants at pick #6 or the Falcons at pick #8 would have interest in TEE.
Give TEE and the Bengals pick #18 to get up to pick #6 or #8 for example.
(or #4 with Arizona for a shot at Marvin Harrison JR - Bengals may have to add picks)
The Team getting Tee could work with TEE and his Agent for comfort relating to Longer Term Contract Terms that seem reasonable to all.
*This could put the Bengals in play for one of the TOP rookie Offensive Tackles -or- DT -or WR -or- Corner -or Brock Bowers
* A Targeted Move could allow the Bengals to GO UP and get the Cream of the Crop at a certain position.
** Probably best to trade him to an NFC Team
