10 days before the first game. Last time I checked, Mike Brown was still running around in that golf cart.
If the hang up really is because Burrow wants Tee's deal done first, that might be why.
I can imagine Tee's involves the pay (at least guarantees) because he almost certainly would get paid like a true WR1 if hitting the open market, but he's not clear cut WR1 in CIN.
And the Bengals have never given more than $10.75 mill APY to a WR who wasn't clear-cut WR1.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
