The idea is cementing our holes. Not taking bricks from another position to fill the hole cause then all you did was create another hole. Without Tee and Boyd teams are just going to super bracket Chase and that will create the same effect as having a bad o line because no one will have the talent to get open and defenses will still get shots at Burrow.
If you gonna take money from another position to fill in the line it needs to be linebacker, running back, or safety. Without 3 high end WRs Joe would’ve been even worse off
This is no knock on Tyler or his ability, simply his position.
No one said anything about Tee. He and Chase are great, add a very solid oline and the slot doesnt have to be a big name.
$10M yr pays for an excellent Guard or Center. I think we would had been a better team this year and won that SB if we had a tier one Guard instead of Adeniji and Trent Taylor at slot.
We have literally 4 holes to fill on the line, 2 desperately. It seems illogical to pay WR3 $10M with this oline issue.
And once Joe and Chase extend, I think you are right - we cannot pay a running back $13M.
My priorities salary wise on offense: QB, WR1, Oline, WR2, RB, TE, Slot in that order.
