He is making bare bones this year, so if you are willing to bring him up to say 15 this year from his current rate then say 19 next which is close to this years tag number and say 21 the following year I think you can punt the decision for a while and see how it falls.
The benefit for Tee is he is making a lot more this year than he would playing his deal out, so it's essentially trading an extra 12 this year and then playing a bit under the next two but considering if we sit on him this year at 3 million it works out the same total comp wise over next 3. If you structured the guarantees heavily across all three years I bet you could get it done. Otherwise he plays this year on his deal, then gets tagged next and maybe in 3 years he finally gets paid. Money now is worth more than money later in the Not For Long league.

Tee's number this year is his number. It is not gonna change. Extension or not. Same with Wilson. Any extensions they do will kick in in 2024. Burrow's new deal won't kick 8n until 2025, as we will likely pick up that 5th year option (just like every other big QB extension).

I could get into the complexity of this but most extensions aren’t even “extensions” in the NFL. Most essentially tear up the final year and may reapply a similar base but put the signing bonus in this year to give a higher cap number but spread the guarantee over more years.
His number is not set and we have actually done similar things in the past, Tyler Boyd comes to mind. He was due about a million dollars in his 4th year but got an “extension” taking his 4th year up to 11 million in cash but a 6 million dollar cap hit. Working cash forward now and sliding Burrows back is 100% a feasible approach to moving the money around.
Tyler's extension worked like everyone else's. The signing bonus is always paid in full in the year the extension is signed.
It wasnt a voodoo "extension", it was a real Extension, it didnt take his 4th year contract up to 11M, it simply raised his cash received in the 4th year.
He did have some type of renegotiation or bonus hits in his 4th year, but it was less than a million dollars...
Tee can sign a 3 year extension this summer for 60M. He could get a 12M signing bonus, he will have a cap hit of his 4th year salary plus 3M prorated bonus. Doesn't impact his rookie deal, just the cap hit and cash paid....
You may have to get into the "complexity" because I have no idea why you think this is how it works? Where are you getting the figure "most" tear up the final year? I think it is exactly the opposite.
