And Joe Burrow and Orlando Brown alone got $250m guaranteed in 2023, and Chase and Hendrickson are about to get another ~$170m guaranteed this offseason. That's $420m in 3 years not counting anyone else that has been drafted or signed (our 3 1st round picks over the 3 years should be another ~$40m).
Even if the escrow is only guaranteed at signing money and not total guaranteed (I can't actually find out which it is) that's still ~$330m for the 4 (with the 3 1st round draft picks still being another $40m). That's not even getting into any OL or DL improvements we need to make.

I already said they probably need to get out of the NFL. The guaranteed money is increasing faster and there's no point in having an NFL team if you can't hang with the other bigger billionaires. Also they ARE cheap, there's no reason we can't hire 8 more scouts to have an actual NFL caliber scouting department, or hire a GM.. that would be what, $3m total?
