Everyone acts like he will be easy to replace but that just seems very silly to think that we can draft an all pro caliber player at 31 or later.
Also here's the thing about the offense line. We don't need it to be great it just can't suck like it did in the Playoffs. Burrow can help make the Offensive Line better he can't do that for the defense.
His play has been up and down and it will take about an average of $15M/year to re-sign him. I wouldn't re-sign a FS to CB money.
