If they can try 1 more time, I think they; even if they know they won't re-sign Tee, will want to give it one more shot with the current group.
I don't think this FO is savvy enough to tag and trade. They are always a year ahead when it comes to the draft and the players they use the picks on, but they do not manipulate the draft and the picks in a way that would benefit the future ie stockpile picks.
I see it this way also.
Plus the Bengals may feel that even though TEE will likely be upset to have to play on the Tag in 2024, he will eventually
be pulled back in by wanting to Win a Super Bowl during his final season in Cincy.
Once TEE gets back with Burrow and Chase on the field they will all become Team first again with that Super Bowl Goal.
