There's no absolute way we can afford Jamarr and anything but cheap vets and guys on their rookie deals for the WR position. Just looking at the positional spending by team in Sportrac makes this painfully obvious. We're already 4th in the league without Chase's new contract. We just can't overload 3 posistions (QB, WR1 and WR2) and expect the team not to suffer.
Burrow is just going to have to learn to get the ball to these other guys. If Burton and Yoshi can just step up, I think we'd be good as we're only 4-4 this year when Tee plays and he's only went over 100 yards once in 8 games. Paying $20 million+/year just doesn't make sense.
Maybe we can cut some guys on the defense and save money there (Rankins, Hill?, Stone and Hubbard), but we're still going to need FA's to try to stabilize the D. It'll be a very interesting offseason.
