he really blows up this year. I also foresee this year being his breakout year.
I love Tee, and was in the skeptical camp of "Can't Pay Them All", but I really think the way he complements Chase, and can make those red zone leaping grabs, that Tee should be extended.
The Bengals were very smart to draft Jones (a steal in the 4th, IMHO) as that #3 WR could be VERY busy with teams likely doubling Chase AND Tee. Boyd was set to have a huge game against KC before injured, so I think the Bengals had a plan to attack that. FWIW, I think Irv Smith, Jjr. could be huge here as well. He moves REALLY well.
I also love the insurance that Tee is a true #1 WR and can carry the load if Chase were dinged up. Lastly, Tee seems to play his best in the biggest moments. All that adds up to a guy that we need to keep.
