But yes...trading Tee and getting say a couple 2nd Round picks and then freeing up what $20 million to spend makes sense.
Yeah they didn't want to trade Tee because they needed him this year. But I was thinking about this awhile back when having discussions about the Bengals not treating players properly. Why do other teams so willingly cave to trade demands? I always kind of thought they just caved. But it's really about just doing the best for all involved. Letting a player go somewhere he feels wanted while getting some compensation in return. Instead the Bengals just ask that player to accept and struggle thru it while not wanting to do too many offseason moves so you don't lose the compensatory pick.
