Keeping Tee Will Have Some Consequences

I think we can find the other guys that we need to compliment Chase thru the draft. Also this free agency has shown that the idea that players chase rings is overstated. But you can find skill players on prove it deals that would like to have Burrow show case there skills. I love Boyd but seeing what his production has become I would've been fine moving on if it meant we could've kept Bell. I'm afraid we don't realize how special of a unit we had on defense and I'm afraid our two veteran safeties were a big part of it. We can replace that but I think it's gonna take a year or two and by then other parts of our defense will be aging out. I think we're trying to think to much about the future when our window is right now.

agree completely with blueprint your spelling out and as to the highlighted

They're out there at times, but they're usually aging vets that have already made enough money throughout their career and now just seek the ring.  The ones we lost really have not had huge contracts yet and still trying to set their families up. Cant blame any of them for taking the money and running.
