I say get it done too. If so, great job FO so we have every piece under contract and happily under contract.
Extending Trey & Chase snd bringing Tee back was the bare minimum they needed to do this offseason. On a team that is trying to win a SB, extending the best receiver in football and the NFL sack leader should be a no-brainer. Not letting Higgins go was also a pretty obvious move. Aside from Burrow, those are our 3 best players.
Keeping them gets a golf clap, not a thunderous standing ovation. Further, they waited too long to do each, and ended up paying way more because of it. And structured Tee & Chase so we took an extra $11 mil cap hit this year on top of it.
That $15-$20 mil (or more) could really have been used to help the team win. Another guard. Safety upgrade. Pay Fant. Calais Campbell. Likely 2 of those things if not 3. Or sllowed us to go big somewhere (G/S).
I guess foing the obvious thing IS a step forward for us. Or at least SOME of them.
