Keeping Tee Will Have Some Consequences

I honestly thought we learned something from the Kansas City game this year.  The Bengals had better weapons, a healthier qb, and a good enough defense.  The difference was the o-lines and the run game.  

Keeping all 3 of those guys is going to make building a good o-line very difficult.  The Burrow era narrative of a superstar qb being limited by subpar line play could be a theme for the length of his time here if they go for lots of shiny toys over adequate blockers.
