We are going to try to keep our own guys.

“The last couple of years we’ve been able to add in free agency and add some pieces places where we were missing guys and add some depth, add starters through free agency. Now it’s going to be keeping our guys, sustain the roster we have and then build through the draft and waiver claims.”

Understandable but hopefully we'll at least sign one or two big ticket offensive lineman.

Improving the line will help extend Burrow's career and be able to make him more money.

I'm hoping that we don't sit on our asses in free agency but this seems like the talk that we always use to hear in the offseason as an excuse for why we can't improve the team.
