How do you figure that? He's literally done next to nothing in his career. He's virtually the same player as Rivera just a whopping three inches taller than him. 

Seferian-Jenkins - 38 Games played with 24 starts - 171 targets / 105 receptions / 10.2 YPC / 10 TD's / 1070 receiving yards - Best year was 2017 with the Jets where he hauled in 357 yards on 50 catches with 3 TD's. He averaged 7.1 YPC. 

Rivera - 61 games played with 15 starts - 230 targets / 146 receptions / 9.7 YPC / 10 TD's / 1413 receiving yards - Best year was 2014 with the Raiders where he hauled in 534 yards on 58 catches with 4 TD's. He averaged 9.2 YPC. 

They're both "just guys". If anything you could say Rivera has more "dimension" in the pass game too. Before the injuries and coaching changes in OAK he had a decent rookie year in 2013 with over 400 yards receiving and 4 TD's which he followed that up with his better year in 2014. Tapered off a bit in 2015 and 2016 and then didn't play for us last year. 

And again, he hasn't been a [BLEEP] up off the field like Seferian-Jenkins....

ASJ is much more talented than Rivera and they are very different types of TE. I'm not saying he's produced more, just that he's more talented , has higher upside and offers more as a TE. Will cost more too obviously.  

ASJ is a true freak athlete who at 6'5 250 ran a 4.5 and had a 37" vert. He was outstanding in college and with his head back on track looks back to his best. 

He's a great redzone target, can stay inline to block and offers a mismatch against most defenders. Rivera does none of these.  

He was an alcoholic in the past.  

Not likely he comes here at all either. Just if you are gonna compare him with Rivera. Well there's no real comparison..
