If I'm the Bengals, and I'm planning on signing Chase to an extension regardless, I'd really have to think twice about how I approach being so stubborn with these kinds of things.
The consequences of being so firm on Tee is losing the threat of a plan B in negotiations with Chase. They keep bringing up the pie, but I can't fault Chase's camp for playing hardball given the situation the FO painted themselves into. They may have wanted Chase more, but the timing of Tee's extension forced their hand.
It looks like they're going to let Tee leave for a comp pick and keep tagging Chase or be forced to trade him if they don't extend him. If they don't want to pay him, they've got to draft better so good players are taking those pieces of the pie.
