You bet your ass we're going to draft an OT and a DE too; maybe more than one each. And you can also safely assume that they will sign vets at less than top of the market as insurance policies.
That's assuming we don't just sign some guys outright, or possibly trade for them.
Nobody expects 6 or 7 starters. But you're going to have to draft well or you're ****ed with a QB eating 23% of your cap. Period. There's no way around it.
I don't know why I have to keep explaining this to you like you're four ****ing years old, but it's getting tiresome.
No QB in the history of the NFL post free agency had ever won a SB with a cap number above like 13% and change. Mahomes did it at 17% this year. Not Brady, not Manning. Nobody. Previous high was Steve Young in '94.
You're going to have to build your team through the draft, period. Add thrifty free agents to fill holes, but by and large you're going to have to draft well or you're screwed.
You HAVE to spread out your cap dollars.

You can keep saying it, unless they’re the ultimate outlier, they’re not going to have draft after draft like the last 2. You throw one or two in like 18 and 20 and then you’re in trouble.
They’re already the outlier winning a sb with the qb making what he is but it also took said qb having the best year in nfl history playing qb and a draft like 5 other teams have had in history.
They decided not to pay a good LT like an elite one. It’s the smart play
But they damn sure didn’t do it without an idea of what they’re gonna do at LT long term so when they trade up to draft someone or trade for and pay someone, we can put an end of o this
