I hate to say it, but I think Tee is a goner. No way someone doesn't pay him to be WR1. If Chase's rookie year is any indication, he's got all time great potential. You can't pay two guys like that plus Burrow and field a complete roster.
I don't think Mixon is long for Cincy, either.
The team has shown it can build, but it will now have to show it can re-stock the cupboard. I see them getting another WR or RB early next year to minimize the drop-off.
On a positive note, I think they can actually do it. They might suck at drafting OL, but they've been great at finding potent skill players. That's not something that should be taken for granted.
If they become a perennial winner with a true top 5 franchise qb, they will have to do what teams like that do and use the stud qb to steady the roster in times of major turnoff.
It is the way that you win in this league. Stacked rosters are great to have, but they are tough to maintain when paying a great qb. Truth is, though, without the bona fide franchise qb, you aren't going far anyway. There's nothing more important, and you have to prioritize it over all other aspects of the roster.
