If you can get someone like Gronk for 5 million, you do it. We can still address the line in a major way even with an addition like that. That's the joy of having guys like Burrow, Chase and Tee on rookie deals.
Gronk is also a good blocker, btw.
The 5 wide stuff is interesting. If that's Burrow's bread and butter, you stick with it. That said, you don't want to be overly predictable, and obviously some teams will match up better with that than others.
Also, even with a better line, we'll always give up sacks. Not 70 of them, but 40 might be the best we can hope for. Can he stay healthy through a career of that? Idk, but as long as we're in SB contention with that style, you have to roll with it.
If teams start to defend it better, that's when you start playing the long game and being more conventional to protect Joey B.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
