They will want to come here now. We have one weakness honestly as long as we take care of our own in FA.
We solidify the OL in front of Burrow and Mixon and this team should be the SB frontrunner in the offseason regardless if we
win or lose on Superbowl Sunday. Sounds like we will be extending our entire coaching staff so that will be in place and we
have lots of good young players in place already. We should be better next season, we are young and will only be gaining
experience as we grow.
I agree that players will be itching to come here now and play with an offense this explosive and guys will want to be blocking for Joe Burrow knowing that he can make any throw but can also scramble if they happen to miss a block. Guys want to play for a leader like that. They'l also want to play for a guy that is the next big thing. Everyone knows that we weren't projected to do anything this year with our over/under for wins set at 6.5 and they'll know that anything is possible with Burrow under center.
They will also want to block for a back like Mixon, especially coming off of a Super Bowl win (the SB win goes for Burrow also).
Not only those two, but also knowing that they'll be on the same offense as Chase, who has the potential to be one of the all-time greats, and then also Boyd and Higgins (and even CJ!).
I also think Taylor is going to play a big role because free agents are going to see a young coach that players want to play for.
This might not matter, but I'm hoping that all the money Mike Brown makes off the SB win lets him invest some money back into the team with a practice bubble, rehab facility, weight room, and everything of that matter. Things might not be as bad as we all say, but I just think those could make us even more attractive in visits and be the icing on the cake.
