Burrow is no longer on a rookie contract. His cap hit goes up big time. 12th highest paid QB next year

Burrow's cap hit is only 29M next year and doesn't hit 50 until 2027. As bad as the defense has been, the position isn't so much different. PPG has been a wash compared to the last 2. The biggest thing this year was bad tackling which lead to a big difference in rYPG. They've always been a bend but don't break team, they just spent too much time on the field this year.
Dax has a full season now and Jordan Battle actually played best @safety this year after he took over for Nick Scott. He's a better Vonn Bell. Their biggest hole to fill will be DJ Reader, if he doesn't come back. All of their problems are fixable and they're in excellent shape with the cap.
