Does Burrow need to hit another level?

The only place you can say they skimped on defense is Nick Scott over Vonn Bell, because they still gave Scott a decent-ish amount of money anyway despite being a vastly inferior player. It was always 100% worth the extra $3.5m/yr to keep Bell, though I would venture that the $10m more in guaranteed at signing money was the sticking point more than the $3.5m/yr.

Yeah I was kind of shocked we let Bell walk. I thought for sure we would resign him since Bates was no way coming back.
