They’ve made their investment in the line. They are moving on to sign Higgins, Joe, and Boyd ( another Brown favorite). They will likely try to retain Bates but he wants the money. They covered themself with Dax Hill. They’ve also got Logan Wilson to keep. They won’t do squat in free agency unless it’s to replace a player they didn’t want to lose. All the money is going to keep players.

Where you think they are going to find all this cap space to sign all those guys to the deals we expect them to sign?

Starters who are hitting FA in the next few years:
2023 - Bates, Bell, Hurst, Apple, Pratt
2024 - Hendrickson, Reader, Boyd, Burrow, Awuzie, Higgins, Jonah Williams, Logan Wilson
2025 - BJ Hill, Collins, Hilton, Karras, McPherson
2026 - Hubbard, Cappa, Volson, Chase (assuming 5th year option is picked up)

That 2024 class of upcoming FAs is going to be super pricey.
