They’ve got to realize that nailing the draft is the only way to be able to manage the salary cap with a mega dollar QB. Watching the overpay of Jonah, Mixon, and Reader is going to always happen. You are going to lose key players and pay too much for the really good ones. It’s just not sustainable.

The TE Gesicki one year again? I’m okay with some degree of conservatism but they are heading to having a huge cap space left over.I know they are running scared when Burrow’s contract kicks in and they need to re-sign Chase. I wish they’d gone to a team needing a QB traded Browning and Tee and whatever possible to move up in the draft or add several.

It is week 1 of FA, it is a long process. It is not just the FA's available now, some teams will have cap casualties. Some teams will have draft casualties (draft a replacement for a vet and then dump him).

I would argue we are not done in 2024 adding players as you are suggesting.
