I could see this sort of roster exchange at WR:
Out: ARob, Lee/Hurns
In: Sammy Watkins, Rookie (Sutton?)

Decent chance he still signs in Jax IMO.

How many teams have as much young talent to retain as this one?
This is a team with young players at marquee positions...
DE-Yannick Ngakoue and Dante Fowler
CB-Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye
LT-Cam Robinson
In addition, the team will need to retain Jack.
I suspect in the not too distant future, guys like Hurns, Campbell, Gipson, Church, Abry Jones, and or Jackson/Dareus may also have to be let go or allowed to walk in free agency.

And none of them have to be paid this year. This situation is EXACTLY what the franchise tag is for. Blue chip talent, hard to value exactly coming off a down year team wide and then a major injury. Tag him and let 2018 play out before reassessing.

If they have a "fair" multi year deal on the table then they would have tagged him, cause 16 million for one year is like 2 million more than fair for him. They wouldn't risk losing him for that.

We could have if we tagged and traded him like the Dolphins are trying to do. Now we can't.

No team is going to pay Arob 16 mill AND give up draft picks to do it.

They can fit him in under the cap and don't need to dip into free agency really this year like in the past.
There is zero risk in a 1yr, $16m deal for a player of this caliber.

Landry averaged under 9 yards a catch. It doesn't get much more down than that...

There’s no risk but it eats up half our cap space. If we had $100 mil in room like the Jets that would be one thing

Robinson is good but he's not 14-mil good (IMO). It seemed like he balled-out in 2015 with all sorts of acrobatic catches and 100% effort. I didn't see that in 2016. His drop in production is partially Bortles and largely Robinson I think.

Yeah if I'm Arob contracts start at 14 million per year. Zero reason to take less.
