What should the core philosophy of offseason '22 be?
#17
I think it's just improve........ as simple as that.

We don't need to make any big moves or make any big changes besides for improving the offensive line with better players and then maybe change the blocking schemes a bit since they'll be better able to handle it.

With Burrow and Chase, the goal should always be Super Bowl, but the fact that we have Burrow and Chase means that we don't have to look into it as deeply as all of you are.

In terms of your options:

1. We don't need to go all-in but we need to improve the team and make it easier to win games. Draft players to shore-up the weaknesses and then maybe sign one or two mid-level free agents to make us even more competitive when teams start making cuts. Adding depth also helps in that aspect. We might be able to sign a guy or two like Gilmore that want to come here to win a title, but we don't need to sacrifice our future to do it. The salary cap hike coming in 2023 should also be beneficial for us to keep players (although we do need to save room for Burrow).

2 and 3 are basically the same because we should be able to keep the pieces around Burrow and Chase to make us successful.
