The ideal that restructuring is some sort of sacrifice from Burrow will not die around here...
Sure Burrow they have the cap to keep everyone, at the expense of free agents that can help not need 6 starters out of the 6 draft picks.
When Burrow had the chance to "sacrifice" to keep everyone together. He held out for the deal that made him the highest paid player in the league.....
To an extent, he's obviously concerned about money, but I think Burrow also just wants to win and go down in history as one of the greats with multiple Super Bowls.
I also think it was just politically correct, in football terms, to say that he wants to keep Tee because we don't need another receiver of that caliber when we already have Chase.
That's not saying that Tee isn't good, but he's just injured a lot and there will be a lot of other cheaper, healthier options at receiver that we could grab, and there's always a few quality receivers that are surprise cuts and become available.
Hell, I even feel like Iosivas could step into Tee's spot without much, if any, drop off and be better because he's healthier.
