Have heard Slayton might be a good trade option for Tee and an End of the Giants or something for us is all.
He isn't a FA, so it isn't that. But he is younger than a lot of the WR options in FA and hasn't played with a great QB like Joe.

Personally I am on team Josh Palmer plus bringing Boyd back for a year. Both combined are projected to be ~$8m meaning even if you trade for a Noah Fant ($9m) or Kyle Pitts ($10m) at TE (or sign Mark Andrews if he gets cut) you're still at $17-18m, which is a good $8-9m shy of a Tee tag and that savings can be spent on OL and DL, but still gives you two solid WRs and a TE that add needed depth to the supporting cast behind Chase. We have our quality in Chase, now we need some (NFL starting caliber) quantity supporting him. Since you already have an elite guy, with Burrow throwing the ball 3 good guys plus money for trench upgrades is better than 1 really good guy and 2 scrubs.
Some good ideas as always TLL. Those are some good cheap WR options and Boyd still knows how to get open. Josh Palmer is a big body WR.
Would love to see what Pitts could do with Burrow and Fant can block a bit unlike Gesicki and Pitts. No to Andrews, he looks washed to me and a
choker in the biggest games.
