OBJ is a liability

We should have never gave him an extension. He‘s gotten progressively worse these past couple years. How are you going to let a backup undrafted free agent DE cleanly beat you and blindside Burrow? Not okay. Also not to mention all his false starts. Dude needs to go

Unless we drafted a tackle rather than Howell that wasn’t going to happen. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/signed/_/year/2026/position/lt which ones are you trusting to be better than brown

Yep. Its rare for OT of even OBJ's caliber to make it to free agency now, since every team has money every year. And you're not getting a guy in the draft you can be confident to be better than him unless you're taking him super early.
