We will be looking for a 1st and 4th round pick so if there is any team that you want to play for we will allow your agent to have discussions with other teams about a trade and new contract. If you wait until the season starts to sign the tag you may get traded to a team you dont like and/or not have the long term contract you are looking for.
Several issues with this.
They cant trade Tee until he signs the tag. There is no deadline for the player, Tee could wait to sign it until week 11 of the upcoming season, assuming he is concerned about qualifying for an accrued season.
If Tee waits to sign until after free agency, no team will have cap space to sign Tee easily.
If Tee waits to sign the tag until after the draft what are you trading him for? 2025 draft picks?
