Thanks, Pally.

After reading through this thread, I'm formed the opinion that, with the dramatic increase in the salary cap, the Bengals could tag Tee two years in a row and still end up spending less over those two years than if they met the expected demands from Tee and his agent. That possibility alone should scare the agent enough to try and get this resolved: either more flexibility on a long-term contract or try to find a suitor for a trade.
