Unstoppable

To your point, they got their franchise QB 2 years ago. They got a superstar playmaker this past year. This offseason needs to devoted to putting together the best o-line possible. 

Burrow having the best pass completion percentage in NFL behind that line while coming off knee surgery is mind blowing. 

They've got to do whatever it takes to get him protection before he gets seriously hurt and they're back to square one again. 

If a few players at other positions have to be casualties to get it done so be it. Really like Bates and he has really stepped up when needed, but if letting him go allows for an extra good OL to be brought in and his spot filled in draft then lets pull the trigger. Was just using Bates as a name but it can be any player that the coaches feel can be replaced cheaper to save money for O-line. 

Don't feel as if anything too drastic needs to be done to achieve this but if it is needed, then just do it. 

Really like all the players on this team, but I love Burrow and not willing to gamble another year with no protection. If Reiff can be gotten cheaper per his injury track record and getting long in the tooth then would bring him back as a back up OT too.   

We need at least two veteran studs in FA if not three imo.
