Like...why?
$26 mil for a 1 year deal for a guy who doesn't even suit up half the time is cap crippling. If you're getting guys on multi year deals, you can spread the cap hit out and get multiple starters for the same 2025 cap charge. To put it in perspective, DT's Christian Wilkins and Justin Madubuike have a COMBINED cap hit of under $18 mil this year after both got new deals this off-season. Eating a $26 mil cap hit for a WR who's as fragile as peanut brittle shouldn't be on anyone's priority list. Hell, after the past two injury plagued seasons, Tee should be looking at a one year prove it deal for half that, if not less.
Beyond that, because of how much time he misses and knowing you won't resign him, you still have to draft a WR in the first two rounds next year, so what are we gaining?
