Would be a nice dodge for the salary cap though but I’m sure that’s heavily scrutinised at HQ.
Ah, cool Wanga. It is kind of amusing alright. I know we have to keep Burrow happy, but at what cost? We have to upgrade the trenches
more than pay Tee more than he is worth right when we have to pay Ja'Marr 40 mil per year...

Eh, we have no idea if he would of or wouldn't gotten him more money. Doesn't sound like Tee thought he would otherwise he wouldn't of
fired him in the first place. I know Tee doesn't sound happy about the tag, but it allows the Bengals to extend him on a longer deal and at
the same time not get screwed over by letting him go for nothing.
And don't say comp picks, comp picks mean nothing as we have never hit on a comp pick that I can remember...

Hendrickson's stock has never been higher, he's older, and his best production is most likely behind him.
You will get some crap for this Weezy, but...
This Draft is really deep at DL. I know Trey hasn't shown any fall off yet, but he could this year right after an extension.
Would rather this happen to another team lol

The only thing this proved to me was the Bengals truly want to keep tee. Not that I didn’t ever think they didn’t but I believe the plan all along was to tag and then work on a long term deal.
Exactly what I believe whether it is what I would want to do or not. It is what they are doing, no point in arguing with it.
