Let Boyd play out his deal and walk. Sign Tee asap and like most contracts back load it a bit. Sign Burrow and give Chase record setting WR money if needed.
Long term keeping Joe and Chase together is the important thing. Worst case tag Tee and trade him for picks. Best scenario likely involves signing him long term and keeping him for 2-3 of those years before Burrow and Chase’s contracts really start eating into the cap. Then trade Tee at that point. As long as he doesn’t have a huge production drop off we should be able to trade him easily for nice picks.
We are at a point now where we really need to draft a WR in the first 4 rounds pretty much every year and try to have Burrow/Chase and a bunch of cheap rookie deals. Burrow should be able to elevate them at this point. Then try to trade them if they flourish in their final year to replace them with picks.
