Possibly? But it'd also be a huge chunk of cap space into one position, including a guy who is aging and keeps getting hurt.
Good teams don't seem to do that, generally. Rebuilding teams almost never do that. Doesn't seem like the smart move.
Seems more like a move by a desperate team trying to cling to a window that is long gone.

As far as stadium improvements and an indoor practice facility goes, that's tough. Putting money into PBS makes no sense, as the county owns it, not the team. The lease expires in 2026, so putting money in the stadium or building a nearby practice facility isn't really a good investment. One of my main orders of business would be trying to get the best land deal I can for a retractable roof stadium and practice facility, then start building there. I would definitely put a team HoF in the new stadium.
Position specific stuff really should fall under the purview of the GM, and I don't really want to be a meddling owner. If I feel I know more about what personnel moves need to be made than my GM, they shouldn't be my GM.
Not everything is his fault, but we've had a lot of draft busts on the o-line, and our defensive talent has corroded. The closest thing we have to a GM should be held accountable for that.
A team owner should be able to swing these things. Mike Brown paid $200 million for the minority stake of the Bengals back in 2011, like it was nothing. He can swing it. If I were the owner, I'd do these things to improve fan morale and immediately establish a better relationship with Cincy. Mike Brown was/is a PR nightmare.
Fair enough on the last one, but I'd make sure the GM I hired knew what needed fixed before I hired him.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
