No, not the same situation.
Brown was still under contract for 1yr/$1m.
Tee has a franchise tag of 1yr/$22m.
Give Brown a 4yr/$100m extension and now you have him under team control for 5yr/$101m ($20.2m/yr).
Give Tee a 4yr/$100m extension and now you have him under team control for 5yr/$122m ($24.4m/yr).
If the Bengals traded Tee last offseason they would have certainly gotten same or greater value, but they chose to use that cheap 4th season of his rookie contract for themselves instead, so the huge value of getting a #1 WR at $1m for a year is gone when it comes to trading.
