"Both lines were dominated" is noted against Cinci.
"Burrows is on his rookie deal; Chase is on his rookie deal. We are paying Diggs a hefty number; we are paying Josh a hefty number" is also mentioned.
"We are not going to go all in on one year", "I don't want to be in situation like 100 million over the cap in two years like some teams have to deal with."
I think OBD knows their pushing all-the-chips-to-the-middle years are over. It will be in the mode of drafting well, finding diamonds in low-cost FAs, hoping one of those years you hit one or two blue chips having career years to get them over the top.
This team is NOT going to have talent overwhelming teams like the Chiefs and the Bengals. The more likely scenario is that they peak at the right time like 2021 to get on a run and over those teams. Beane said at the beginning of the presser what we have seen: towards the end of the season, this team was barely finding a way to get by; we were not hitting on any (let alone on all) cylinders for offense and defense.
