If this were the Andy Dalton era Bengals, I could see it. But now, we have a QB that can elevate those around him.
Both have been injured from playing football; it's just JB's have been more severe.
If we franchise Tee; it's not over-paying. $20 MIL puts him at/below the likes of DK Metcalf, Mike Williams, DJ Moore, and Terry Maclaren. Who knows, maybe Tee will sign the "team friendly" deal many said JB would.
As I said; I'm not opposed to, in fact, I'm in favor of letting Tee walk if we spend the money on talent.
