Yes the Bengals could add players that have a bigger impact than Tee potentionally but the odds are low that we make that happen. But letting Tee go and now that has to happen because you've added a major early need to the draft. You can't let Tee walk and not go all in on free agency which I think we might all over value to some extent due to the success we had for a few years. But we have had back to back bad free agencies. To me I think signing the big 3 and seeing what else we can make happen in FA before the draft is our best option.
To me, the logic boils down to what is better for the team's success. I realize, as do you, what they are likely to do is a different scenario.
Using the Tee money to sign a top guard and edge rusher, or two guards, is more inclined towards the overall success of the team. I think many in the "trade Tee" camp are looking at the potential value (proven players and/or picks) and the cap opening up allowing for signing known value players in free agency.
I agree the Bengals may not make the best moves and may crap the bed in free agency like they did last year. I am putting forth reasonable, trade for Crosby is my pipe dream, available scenarios.
