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.

You've got to get past that part. The Bengals aren't going to get a Tee "clone", anywhere. Slayton is a next up option for the team to move past having Tee Higgins on the team. It's up to Joe Burrow to elevate Slayton, and make him a valuable part of the offense.
