Small one but significant.
Good to see he on schedule. And good to see he doing some solid lifting.

Duke & Zac make it clear that they want TEE back with the Bengals but I still see a possible Trade still on the table
with temptations to do so likely PEAKING right about now at the Combine.
To me, this seems like a more Fluid situation than Duke & Zac imply, especially since TEE was Tagged early and
right before the Combine.
Duke should have a Good Idea of roughly what TEE & his Agent would want in a Longer Term Deal. (Money/years)
If things seem far apart, then the Duke may already know that he would only have TEE for one more season.
Duke will now be around people from the other NFL Teams that show up at the Combine who may strike up conversations
about what they might be willing to give for TEE.
I doubt that Duke will proclaim "Go get your own" like he said last year.
I think that Duke will listen and talk this time around.
Duke may just have his EARS open to offer ideas while also having his EYES open looking at all the Wide Receiver rookie prospects
that could help ease the thought of Trading TEE into becoming a reality.

Let's take a look out and see where the Bengals stand after NEXT season (the 2025 season heading INTO the 2026 season).
As of RIGHT NOW, the Bengals will have THREE guys signed that are NOT on their rookie contract.
1. Joe Burrow (48M cap hit)
2. Orlando Brown Jr. (20M cap hit)
3. Logan Wilson (9M cap hit)
After that, the player signed making the most money is Myles Murphy at 4M dollars. The projected cap for 2026 is 350M and the Bengals are on the hook for 93M in active contracts leaving them with around 260M in cap space.
YES, I know the Bengals are going to sign players between now and then. Jamar Chase and CTB mainly. That being said, those contracts will most likely not be more than 40M combined which will still leave more than 200M in cap space.
So, my point is this...the roster drop off after next year is about to be HUGE. This team is going to look completely different, and it can choose to go in WHATEVER direction it wants. They want to sign Chris Jones this off-season and back load the contract? Go for it. They want to sign Tee? Go for it.
They aren't bogged down by any bad, long-term contracts. They aren't kicking the can down the road with void years on players contracts like other teams.
They are in an amazing place with the cap and roster construction. They HAVE the money, cap room, and flexibility to sign who they want. It's up to them to go in the right direction with their signings.

First up Duke
quotes per Charlie Goldsmith of the Enquirer
spending:"You've got to be really judicious with your money and determine what's needed and what's just wanted. It's a finite pie."
"We want to keep as many good players as we can, but there are always hard decisions to make."
Joe Burrow: rehab going well. He's at the facility a great deal
Tee: He's a good player who we think makes us better. Won't respond to hypotheticals
Sam Hubbard: powered through a "dramatic" injury. Extremely versatile, one of the best
Myles Murphy: growing up and they are excited about his progession over the last season
Joe Mixon: "In terms of predicting anyone's role going forward, I'm not going to do that on the podium. Those are roster building strategies and things we're talking through with every player."
TE: time to end the revolving door. They want a pass catcher and blocker bonus if they can do both. Gotta be Joe approved
DJ Reader: conversations are happening. He's in the building every day rehabbing which is going well
Dax Hill: versatile player moving to CB is an option
RT: looking for a long term solution whether it be a young guy or a youngish veteran

.
TEE said that it would be “ideal” for him to play for New Titans Head Coach Brian Callahan if he were to leave the Bengals.
Callahan would know exactly what he is getting with TEE (versus a rookie) and many believe that TEE can be a #1 receiver in the NFL.
The Titans appear to have a lot of Cap Space at this time and the Bengals avoid paying #1 WR Money to TEE.
A Trade Value Chart gives 1,500 points for the Titans pick #7 and 900 points for the Bengals pick #18. (a 600 point difference)
600 points is roughly a late first round to early 2nd round value for TEE.
Take the POLL - Would you Trade TEE to the Titans for this ?
