We had a few that should have been let go on the roster last year. We cannot carry people to get them a shot at a ring if we continue to then our team may never see one. It is not written in stone the Bengals will win a Superbowl just because we have Burrow, we need all to contribute. Most of us know we got to blow teams out to win if we let the refs decide our fate, we will never make it to the top.

Joe had 2 yards per carry in our last game Perine had 4 yards per.

Right.  Nostalgia and past love for certain players needs to be set aside for current production and cost.

I don't want to waste anything on this time with Burrow at QB.

Make the team better and pay the players that are performing at a high level NOW.

Free agency/draft can be a tool to improve, or at least lateral move to a cheaper option.

It's one of those "what have you done for us lately" that are a harsh NFL reality.
