The problem is, do you want to be Duke Tobin and having every talking head destroying you when the OL cost your team the SB, you had the 4th most cap space in the league, you tried a patchwork job on the OL that relied on B and C tier FA's and draft picks? Especially if the OL costs us the SB again?
If the secondary doesn’t get torched on the last drive we don’t lose the SB either. Narratives are interesting because they can so easily flip on small moments. That said, they can still address the line fine even with making one splash move outside of OL. People have this idea that doing anything besides OL is discounting it when in reality people acting as if we have no other needs are discounting that it was the defense that carried us and we need to be cognizant of that.
Usually teams enter FA with a set amount to spend on a position group. Once they get there and start negotiating that dictates if they get one big player or multiple smaller ones. This is what happened last year with CB. We chose to essentially divide of WJ3’s money over two guys and it worked out great.
