The bigger picture with all of this is to keep Burrow happy. That begins with signing Tee and ends with signing Hendrickson and Jamar.
Keeping Joe happy should be priority 1A for this organization right now. It's pretty clear what Joe wants, and it's also pretty clear that there's a bit of frustation/unhappiness creeping in when it comes to Joe and his relationship with this organization. You think he likes missing the playoffs (again) and seeing a guy like Hurst (same draft class) winning a Super Bowl this year all while the organization he plays for continues to let good players walk?
You sign Tee because yes, he's good and can help your team, but more importantly because it keeps Joe happy.
The big picture is to put a great roster together, defense, offense and special teams. If they Chase long term, that guarantees Joe has a top WR to throw the rock the next 4 to 6 years depending on length of his contract. Joe understands to win it all, all phases need to be upgraded. Ues, he wants Tee, he want Gesicki too. But in the end, I think he wants a complete team accomplish what Chiefs and Eagles have done past few years.
They may sign and keeo Tee. They may tag and trag him for more draft picks (weapons are a lot cheaper with draftees than vets). They won't just let Tee enter FA. If they did, it woulld be the biggest blunder maybe ever for this franchise and they have many others.
In the Joe wants to win championships, he will adapt if Tee is no longer here. He is not a 5 year old who would whine and cry with losing him.

Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!
