Pair of Mocks to consider

The Bengals are permitted to have trade talks with team now, they just can't execute them. They could also give permission to Tee to talk to NFL teams about a future contract after he is tagged.

I am not sure of his value contract wise, but a similar young 2nd round pick A.J. Brown was traded from Titans to Eagles on draft day 2022, he then signed a 4 year 100-million-dollar deal or 25 million a year. He too had injury issues, but Eagles gave up a 1st round and I believe a 4th to get him.

Two words I never like to use are never and always. You seem to be saying never.

I hope the Bengals sign him, but I think it is value is much higher in the 2025 market than 19 million a year, even with his injuries.

Because the last former Bengals WR the Titans brought in because of Callahan paid off so well...and after that, you think he's going to bang his fist on the table to trade for Tee?

Brown missed 5 games in 3 years and 2 1000 yard seasons in those three years.  He also never had more than 106 Targets in a season with the Titans. To put that in perspective, Tee's got 92 Targets this year despite missing a ton of time with injury and Burrow throwing him the ball.  $18.3 APY is his market value per Spotrac.  Gotta realize he's going to set career lows for Yards/Catch and Yards/Target this year.  

Is it POSSIBLE someone trades for him if we tag him?  Sure.  There's a sucker born every minute.  Is it LIKELY?  No.  If they were going to trade him, they should have his final year of his rookie deal.  Since, his price has gone up and his play has gone down.
