Starting to appear as if the plan was to punish Burrow and the fans by REFUSING to do anything big if we were forced to sign Tee to a deal we honestly didn’t wanna sign.

Yes, we can always spend more money on shiny new toys like Rankins, Stone or others. The thing is they are not out of cap space even after the structure of these deals. I am not privvy to FO meetings, but it is hard to project exactly where these 2 huge contracts were going to land.

In the end, they wanted Tee and they wanted BJ Hill, Gesicki, Ossai and a few others. I can see the whining if we lost Tee or lost Hill, but  we did not. The team is also working to give Trey a raise. There 2025 moves are far from being a cheap franchise.
