People are acting like we would be merely missing a 1,000 yard receiver when in fact it's more like we would be missing a 1,200 yard to 1,300 yard receiver. Point being Tee is a great player and will be very hard to replaced. Acting like a 1st RD receiver can come in and automatically replace him is a  preposterous statement.

If you believe in trading Tee then you have to be in favor of adding another elite veteran player in the process. Preferably one on the defensive side of ball or offensive Line.

Tee averaged 77.9yards a game in 2021( per 17 game 1,324)and 73.5(per 17 1,249) yards per a game in 2020( he had 2 games were he didn't receive a target due to injury. @ Ravens ten snaps and home against the Browns)

Injury is one of the key factors with people willing to trade Tee. And trust in the FO drafting Wideouts. And the argument for years that Dalton was a bum because he needed all the talent / weapons. A perfect roster...… We believe Burrow is better than Dalton. 

As far as the elite vet defensive side of the ball.. We are past that in FA. However as KC did, we can rebuild through the draft, extra picks would help that. 

If Tee's been healthy and was able to accumulate all those yards he could have, then maybe even 1 more year out of him would be enough to quiet any willingness for fans to trade him. He hasn't tho, and because of that the 21m is not only a rental that we will never get back or be able, it's  gamble.
