The reason you would have traded him before this past season is so you can get a 1st and 3rd round pick to replace him when he is in the last year of his contract. Its about having some vision and planning ahead. I even brought this up in the spring when the trade was being talked about, what happens if Tee gets injured then is a free agent after the season. That is exactly what ended up happening. The Bengals not trading Tee was a huge missed opportunity to get draft picks to not only replace Tee but to lower the salary cap instead of signing him to a long term contract or tagging him.
