It's basically:

Option 1:
Keep Tee
Use 2nd Round pick on any position
Have $22 million less cap space

Option 2:
Let Tee go.
Use 2nd Round pick on WR.
Have $22 million to spend on any positions
Maybe get a draft pick or compensatory pick later

Option 3:
Franchise tag
Less cap space
Draft wr
Gives another year to see how young wrs progress. And if Tee is healthy.

Probably Option 2 leads to a better team.
