I’m all for keeping him if he’s willing to take a Pittman like deal (maybe a little more), but you have to draw a line somewhere. $28 million seems a bit rich to me for a 1k yard WR.

Tee is not an elite player. I'm sorry. He's a very good player with iffy availability. There's no such thing as a 0x Pro Bowl, 0x All-Pro, #2 WR playing ~55-65% of the snaps who is elite, and Tee isn't going to suddenly stop getting a hamstring injury every single year, play more snaps than he ever has in his career, and put up 500 yards more than he did in his current career high (that was 4 years ago) to suddenly become elite.
1.) Who are you signing that will give us the same or better value then Tee?
2.) So we are now using a glorified popularity contest to sign a player?
Here's why you sign Tee
1.) Burrow wants him back!
2.) Our offense is better with him than without him!
2b.) Our team is better with him than without him
3 .) Chase puts up better numbers with him then without him.
3b.) Chase wants him back.
Arguments for not signing Tee
His Hamstring!
