I mean, Burrow has been injured multiple times because of their lack of o-line
They lost that SB against the Rams because of the O-line.

Yet, they keep continuing to put him out there to get killed and think the answer is dumping all their money into their wide receivers. I get it, they are good...but sheesh.
I agree. I've been bitching about the O-Line since they let Andrew Whitworth walk.

Burrow is good enough that if you give him time it doesn't matter who the receiver is - he will put it on him.

But the trio of Burrow, Chase and Tee is fun when they are all out there. That said, in true Cincy form I expect Burrow will have his knee ripped to shreds in Week 1 when Orlando Brown Jr whiffs on yet another block.

So... average pay per year:

Burrow 55 mil, Chase 40 mil, Higgins 29 mil.

124 mil total per year on those three.

NFL salary cap 2025 is 279 mil.

So those three get 44.4% of the total.

They had better play out of their skins, otherwise the fans will get pissy fast.

That last play, Burrow had Chase wide open for a game winning TD, he saw it...he just never could get the ball off because the 0-line was like a subway turnstile
Yup. Defender fell down.
I may have had a heart attack had that gone for a TD to win the game.

1 more second and that outcome is likely different. D-Line didn't slow down Donald at all on the last 2 plays (the one prior was a 3rd and 1 run to Perine).
