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.

Seems we shall see. Betting there will be camp cuts worthy of adding for teams with the cap room, yet agree it should have already been done if it was going to happen. Just don't see them tagging him twice as you suggest if he is not signed, it rarely happens. Like I've pointed out he will certainly not be happy the day Chase is signed and he is not inked showing the Bengals hand.  

Plus Tee already had a very average season this year, but still has nice value. If he has another average year in lieu of balling out as you claim is a given, then his trade value will not be as high as now and this year wiill be wasted on him being overpaid. If he does have another average season then he will have had 3 out of 5 seasons not getting to the 1,000 yard plateau. Plus the 2 he did make it there were barely just over a 1,000 with Chase drawing the double coverage for him. 

Only way I see to make him happy is signing him which is not good for the future imo. Yet if they really covet him, then sign him and make him happy.
