Not really fair, Wes. The immovable object spent more than any team on FA this year, and made some tough choices (extending Mixon, not Green). They understand that while Burrow is on his rookie deal, they have a real shot. As much as I hated the approach early with little to now alterations on the offensive line other than Jonah coming back and XSF being added, right now, you can see that they believe the offensive line doesn't have to be all-pros, but just solid and Burrow can make it work.
The losses of Reader, Hubbard, Daniels, Wren, Tupou (opt out), Waynes, and WJIII for the Cleveland game, have been devastating, but not as impactful as the cliff that Dunlap and Geno have seemingly fallen off of. Raise your hand if you thought those two would have zero impact thus far. But, the Bengals made a decision and got what they could for Dunlap. You can be sure there will likely be a very high draft pick used on a DE and they will probably spend again on FA, hopefully at DE as well. You can't have enough pass rushers.
