I think realist expectation with Tee since we can franchise him and stop him from testing market in 2025

1. We sign him to a long-term deal and keep him.
2. We sign him to a long-term deal and trade him for multiple picks.
3. We tag him and keep him for 1 more year.
4. We do nothing, and he signs elsewhere.

It would be stupid for the FO to go to #4 and only get a compensatory pick in 2026, when at a minimum, they can get multiples like at least a 2nd and 4th rounder if we don't want to pay 2 WR's top bucks.

The key to it all is the Bengals have the hammer for one more year 2025.
