Trading is the only beneficial way of losing Tee, if he just hits FA then it's a colossal failure by the Bengals.
Until 2025 I would say we are a colossal failure, if all we have is memories of on very rare occasions being in suprbowls and not actually winning them.
I don't think a front loaded offense with no defense is going to win a superbowl, it's going to put us on the edge of missing/making playoffs and that's it. I don't see Tee signing here, or if he does, we can kiss our superbowl hopes goodbye - where is the D?
Being underpaid is not a good feeling, I dont' think Tee will be happy if he's making significantly less (even though we all know that money isn't that big a difference in the end especially if he now has a superbowl ring) - but we can see Burrow didn't take less, and Chase won't - so why would Tee.
So IMO - unless Burrow and Chase somehow take less, Tee is gone. I got my coworker a large raise, so much so that he makes more than me, I'm OK with that but there isn't 1% of me thinking, why don't I also make that much? Lol.
It's possible with a HOF coach we could make that front loaded offense work, I don't think we have any HOF coaches on staff.
Tee is still young, it would be crazy of him to take less, he will take less as a Vet to try and win a ring - like nearly every other NFL player before him. I don't have a lot of hope in keeping him.
