IMO, injury is part of the game. There's little doubt Tee has been dinged, but he's avoided major injury and I wouldn't consider him "damaged" or Injury-prone. 

WTS, I have 0 issue letting Tee walk, but it wouldn't be because of his injury history; it'd be because I want to use that $20 Mil to bring in a defensive stud such as Chris Jones. 

There's a somewhat large difference between signing your franchise QB whose been injured in part due to the team around him for what he's truly worth, and overpaying for a secondary WR.  If this were the Andy Dalton era Bengals, I could see it. But now, we have a QB that can elevate those around him.
