We are now seeing the Bates and Readers leaving to make room and it will not stop hemorrhaging ever if all 3 are signed. 

Plus 2 of those years Burrow was playing for peanuts too. All that is changing very quickly and paying 3 players over $100 million leaving only $3 million a player for the other 49 players just is not smart in my book. Hill will be next forced to walk for more money because the Bengals can't afford if the 3 break the bank. 

If Tee does not get disgruntled and tries then the Bengals could have one more year window with the 3 to try to win one before Tee walks to the highest bidder with no return. That team could be the steelers, Ravens, or Browns which be haunting.  But if he plays to not get hurt, then it blows up in their face and he still walks for free. 

Trading tee and spending extra cap space for 2024 just doesn’t work anymore. That ship set sailed. The only thing you gain, in 2024 is a draft pick. You don’t gain anny sort of positional strength gain for 2024. Ideally tee balls out on the bengals this year and next year you’re able to tag and trade and get a better haul due to a productive season. We really are selling tee at Pennie’s on the dollar after last year, relatively speaking.
