Obviously, we don't know the particulars on what the team offered Tee, but with his injuries over the years, his last season where he was
banged up and had his worst year as a pro and such I don't think he will be extended for a ton. At least not by the Bengals. They know who
they need to pay at WR and that is Ja'Marr Chase.
A trade could happen before the deadline if an injury occurs to somebody's best WR's. If not, we are just going to do what we all thought
and keep Tee here this year on the Tag and next year let him test FA and see what he can get. Hopefully Tee has his best season ever and
gets paid big time by somebody else. He does have a lot of incentive to play his best, none to holdout and not sign the Tag etc.
