Always playing from behind, so the team passes a lot.

Catching balls from a future hall of fame QB.

Never getting covered by the #1CB and often overlooked due to the attention the defense gives to Chase.

The idea he would want traded to a team where he would be covered by the #1CB, face more double teams, and catch balls from an inferior, less accurate, QB is silly.

I do not want to re-sign Tee unless it is at a discount, or there is an injury clause in his contract, but I believe he wants to remain a Bengal because the world knows how good he has it in Cincinnati.

The smart thing is still to do what kc did and even buffalo with not retaining Diggs

Buffalo, Kc, and baltimore do not need 2 stud wide receivers to win.

Im not as sold they can draft to replace Tee especially quickly enough to take advantage of Joe's prime window.

That’s really not taking your wr2 spot seriously. They’ve been so foolish

(01-04-2025, 07:34 PM)Nicomo Cosca Wrote: Partially because they’ve never had 2 WR’s that good at the same time.
