They can be replaced. It’s Burrow who cannot.
I’m fine if they let him sit. This nonsense has to stop at some point.
While Burrow is certainly harder to replace than a Chase or Higgins, you're comment about WRs "quickly becoming as fungible as RBs" seems to completely contradict how NFL teams are actually operating.
Instead of WRs becoming "quickly fungible", it's actually the opposite. Their salaries are exploding at the highest (or 2nd highest) rate of any position which indicates that NFL front offices have the complete opposite opinion than you.
Compare that to RB salaries, the actual fungible position, and you see little gains in contract values over the last several years. Contracts tell you what positions are fungible or not.
