Couple things. The line actually played better than the public sentiment. There were some losses but there were far more issues with Burrow creating his own pressure (Holding the ball, not throwing hot, etc) than there was with the line. He also struggled with checking out of bad looks in the run game. Specifically there was a run blitz in the 2nd half that was cover 0 off coverage across the back that was an easy check to a smoke screen that we instead ran Mixon for a loss of 3 or 4.
Other thing is now post week 1 all salaries are guaranteed so you can't actually reduce anyone's pay and if you cut them you owe it. The only way to generate space now is by restructuring deals and "adding" years which can be done with void years.
