I would also add that we were in a different spot last off-season than we are now. Last off-season there was a ton of pressure to add players to appease Joe Burrow from wanting out and they didn't have any major free agents of their own.
Right now Joe seems happy and they have two major free agents in Lawson and Jackson. I personally find it hard to believe that they would lose two extra 3rd RD picks next year. Just to sign a free agent guard(a position they don't value) to a major contract.
So they're not under pressure now? They just got his knee ripped out behind an offensive line that everyone and their grandma knew full well was not even close to good enough. I'd say they're under even more pressure now, particularly with quarterbacks around the league playing hardball against organizations that failed to provide what they saw as sufficient roster management on their respective teams.
Getting Burrow to come here was the easy part. Proving that they aren't what the media has been and will keep saying they are is an ongoing process.
