Personally, I see no way this team can keep the 3 WR together, Mixon together and sign good pieces for the OL once Burrow gets his contract extension.  So if they're going to do something....it has to be done in the next 2 years IMO.  

Yessir, it's valid concern. I don't think Waynes sticks around. That frees up some cash....to possibly upgrade C and maybe a G. I have no idea who'll be available. Cap increases too, I believe. Maybe Carman or someone winds up being the RG we need.

I'd try to keep Larry around, Apple, and maybe BJ Hill. You might wind up losing Bates. The rest come back if the price is right.

Offensively, it's Reiff, Uzomah, and Spain as the biggest names. I might be inclined to try and keep all of them.

Those WRs....yeah, that's probably not going to be sustainable, unless we're in contention for a chip next season. Then, ya never know how guys will react to money vs hometown discounts. To your point, the next two years are very critical.
