Bobby Hart is with the Commanders
Carman with the Dolphins and has been moved over to the guard position
Jordan is with the Buccaneers
They aren't starting, I'd wager.
And finding them isn't that hard. We just didn't prioritize them.
Zabel, Jackson, Ratledge, Thuney (via trade), Fries, Daniels, Becton, Zeitler, Jenkins, Hernandez, Risner.
That's 11 guys off the top of my head that were gettable at various price points/draft slots. Now, some are LGs, Fairchild's spot. But still. This is not a situation where we are all scratching our heads saying, "who could we have gotten?"
Burrow is the franchise. Protecting him should be priority #1. Giving him weapons #2. Defense #3. Imagine what he could do with more time and a running game!
The fact that we are in year 6 and these dumb@$$es haven't figured that out yet is grounds for dismissal.
