At that point what do you do, wait until 2025 for the draft picks?  If you are trying to trade for a player instead of picks, is the other team going to trade someone that just went through camp and preseason?  The Bengals are not in a good spot for a trade on this one.  They should have made the trade last spring when Tee was under contract and could have brought the Bengals a 1st and 3rd round pick.   Management completely blew that opportunity.  Now their options are limited.  For all the good the Bengals management has done the last few years, they still make some boneheaded, shortsighted decisions.  Not trading Tee when he was going to be a free agent after this past season is one of them.

I have to disagree... I think they view Tee as someone they really want to keep. The question is can they do it. They can tag him twice. Super Bowl contending teams (legit contenders) aren't as concerned with draft picks. I honestly think they need to go all in this season. Tag Tee... Trade picks away for a true game changer (like the Rams did with Ramsey), and try and get this championship before the big money actually comes due.
