It’s ok to be wrong, and in this case… the opportunity cost is not big.  Hell, they could be in a better spot, financially, than if they had resigned him (to a likely larger deal than he got).

At $141,000/game, his rest of season salary is $1.5m.  The bengals could easily absorb that.  This would take care of WR3, in the short term.

I’d also look around for a CB and potentially RB.

It depends.  The Titans may not want to completely gut their WR group.

To me, I'd eyeball Cooper Kupp.  The Rams are reportedly willing to pick up a chunk of his salary if he's traded and he has 2 years left on his contract after this one.  That would make losing Tee a lot less of a dire proposition, in addition to being a massive upgrade this year.
