Are we being realistic with Free Agency expectations?

We were fairly close to this point in only his second year. It's alarming, and we got a rare second chance. Holding back protecting Burrow because of being worried about cap 5 years from now isn't worth the gamble.

That's a great point, and one that I'd like to add a little reinforcement to.  I'll go so far as to say that with putting a strong line in front of Burrow, in a couple years he won't need "top level" skill players to pick teams apart with and put big points on the board.  As time goes by, Burrow will be making stars out of relative unknowns, so long as he has a little time to survey the field.
