Tee has played...
74.81%
64.60%
68.38%
52.67%
00.00%
...of the offensive snaps in his career. Over the previous 3 years he's averaged less than 2/3rds and never reached 3/4ths at any point of his career. Any immediate backup for him is going to play a significant amount of snaps and any failure to prepare for that is just a failure of the FO. Even more so when we know that Zac is always going to have a pass heavy offense.
It's to a lesser degree, but it's a similar situation to going "Eifert will be healthy THIS year, we don't need a quality backup TE for him".
