At that point what are you going to get in a trade for a player playing on a one year franchise tag? If Tee had been traded before this season that team would have got this year under contract plus the potential tag next year making the trade more valuable. I think the Bengals screwed themselves on this one.
We will see what happens, but I think this Tee thing is likely to just fall under the same old "why do anything when we can just do nothing?" mantra. MB will use wanting to keep Tee here and not make another team better by letting him go as an excuse to offer Tee #2 money when multiple teams are going to give him #1 money for good or ill.
It'll be the higher profile version of when we shrugged and watched Sanu and Jones leave because, lord knows you can't have more than 1 WR in the NFL.
