That’s damn near like a calf. You just gotta let that heal all the way



This has to be the worst contract year ever for a WR. If there was a deal on the table this offseason Tee is gonna hate himself for not taking it because atp this is multiple years of injury so if he was worth, for example, 25M per that price is likely WAY lower now because now the label injury prone is valid.

Imo he’s out of the 100M dollar contract range now. 85/4 years would be a good deal to me honestly. I don’t think many teams will be trying to blow off the doors for Tee. The top team will likely offer 20M per, but it’s gonna be a super shit team and no way Tee wants to play for another QB

Likely means unless a team overpays for him, he will go for a 1-year deal to rebuild value.

It also means it's harder for the Bengals to tag and trade him as there is likely less teams willing to both pay him $23m (the projected WR tag number) and give up a 1st round pick (or a 2nd and 3rd).

Really makes me feel more confident in my belief I held that they should have tried to trade Tee this last offseason before the draft for a 1st and 3rd when his value was at it's peak and the Bengals could use those picks to help the team this year.
