FYI, he doesn't have to be a "Higgins clone" to fulfil a vital role in the offense, just means that the offense will have a different wrinkle to it.
Yes, I'm 100%sure he isn't as good as Tee.
Tee averaged 75.9 yards per a game this past season while Darius Slaton averaged 35.8 yards per a game. He's not going to improve his total by 40 yards per a game next season in his 7th season.
Lets say Burrow adds 15 yards per a game to Slaton total. He would still average 25 less yards per a game than Tee did this past season. He also would have 47 total yards less than Tee did this past season while playing in 5 more games.
Also, yes he does have to be a Tee clone for the signing to be a success. The Bengals are not going to change their ways when it comes to the style of offense Burrow wants to play. Were always going to be a spread west coast offense as long as Burrow is here.
