Some of Tee and Ja'Marr's thoughts on the Tee Situation

Tee said to me 'right now I get to play with one of the, if not the, best quarterbacks in the game, I get to play with one of, if not the, best wide receivers in the game, that opens up so much more for me.' And then he said 'this offense is designed for so many different players to be spotlighted, the way that I am used in this offense so plays to my strengths.' And then he said to me, 'can you guarantee I can have that exact situation anywhere else?'

....

So do I think he's taking a home discount? No. But I do think that he is very very smart, he sees the whole picture out there...

....

It's very easy to compare this situation to what Ja'Marr had at LSU with Joe Burrow and Justin Jefferson. And Ja'Marr has said Tee is very different than Justin Jefferson. That every single minute with Justin Jefferson was a competition. That everything was who makes the more dynamic catch, who has more catches in practice, who runs faster? Everything was that way. Ja'Marr had to speak up and demand the ball a lot at LSU, because so was Justin. Ja'Marr told me that he doesn't have to do that in Cincinnati because Tee, and this is a quote from Ja'Marr, is one of the most unselfish humans you'll ever meet.

#VERY VERY INTERESTING STUFF #also fuck evan this guy is so annoying he KEPT interrupting her through her whole segment and then smiled all condescending like #'what about the money you idiot woman'#and it's like YES the money IS a good point #this could easily all just be talk from tee and ja'marr #because tee DOES deserve all the money he can get #he DOES also deserve the chance at being WR1 if that's what he wants #(he has always done well as WR1 when ja'marr is out/hurt)#so like yes. those are important caveats.#that can definitely be talking points without evan's annoying ass comments and interruptions and looks #(like dude are you not also just some sideline reporter? no need to act like you're better than aditi. BUT WHATEVER)#very interesting considerations! that tee is aware of all the good of his current situation #and may not want to change it at all??#again. could just be saying shit. actions speak louder than words and all that #but the action of dropping your agent (who has the BEST track record of getting guaranteed money) only to go to the agent of the guy #who the front office is going to try to leverage your negotiations against #is like. well. that feels very very deliberate!!#that these two are going to put up a united front. to try to do their best to stay together AND get paid.#which sounds too good to be true tbh!#and then ja'marr comparing his relationship with justin and his relationship with tee!!#both important relationships! both beautiful connections!#and like. justin and ja'marr NEEDED that kind of relationship in college #one of support and competition. pushing each other to be their best. so that they could come into the league #and break all these records almost immediately #and then now a more settled relationship with tee. calmer softer maybe.#that post about how important relationships that let you REST are #man. man. i could go on forever about all of this but this is already too much!!!#tee higgins #ja'marr chase #cincinnati bengals
