We got 5 years out of the Dalton / Green rookie era before their contracts forced the gutting of the team in 2015. In a way we are still paying the price (OLine).
We should have gotten more than 3 out of the Burrow / Chase rookie era before this happened. They are 2 years early. They did do good with the free agent signings in 2020 and 2021 but these 3 year deals have come back to bite us. Free agents aren’t opting to stay. Playing with Burrow isn’t enough. Chido and Hilton will be gone after next year. No 3rd contracts is their philosophy if you believe the spin coming from The FO tin response to the Bell criticism.
The morale of the story is when you make the big game yu have to win it. These Championship teams don’t last long.
