Troy Brown in 2001 and Julian Edelman in 2016 (Gronk missed half the season). Even if you add Gronk into the equation, they still only had a 1k pass catcher in 3 of the 6, and never 2 in 1 year. They only really spent on OL on the offense when they won SBs and trusted their QB to make do with 1 good weapon and a collection of low cost okay weapons.

It actually seems like the Chiefs are going the Patriot way, while the Bengals are looking at going the Colts way.

Yeah, it's more about the type of player when I say that. Team captains, mostly winning programs, football smarts abound, with good work ethic. The Bengals have spent on the offensive line, it fell apart last year down the stretch, but the money was spent. Gronkowski was their Chase, contested catches and down the field. Obviously not the same athlete, but the same role. Then Gronk goes to Tampa. Higgins will be the complement. They won't spend on TE and likely the slot. Chase and Higgins are deadly down the field. Burrow throws in some tight windows that good high point and back shoulder capabilities favor. They make catches that a lot of guys simply can't physically do.
