Yep, Taylor Lewan, Patrick Peterson, Zeke Elliott etc.

If it comes down to picking between several teams for same price though ? Then the Bengals being a SB contender definitely could sway decisions and Burrow is a big part of the Bengals being a SB contender.
Think Burrow will get an aging vet that is financially set already to come here to chase a ring eventually, probably a WR or TE.
Although that has yet to happen, but think that sort of player will be a camp cut and last minute addition.
It's not surprising that Zeke through out winning teams he wanted to go to per he has already been paid and career is coming to a close
Spot on. It didn't happen this FA, but in the future I could definitely see some aging vets chasing rings want to come here over other
teams because our window will be open as long as Burrow plays for the Bengals. This is real even if Pistons and Stewy make good
points about some of our guys leaving. Once Burrow is paid up, what the OP said could happen.
Right now we are stashing dough for Burrow, Chase and Wilson. Sure seems like we are going to try and extend Tee too even though
I know others will want to put that money in the trenches which I understand.
