I think the organization wanted to have a veteran option on the roster that was familiar with Bortles. Lee became the only viable option and the WR market forced them to overpay to keep him.

Talk about a guy who got somewhat healthy and productive at the right time.

From what Caldwell was saying, his priority was Lee and a WR to pair with him.  They wanted to get a deal with ARob, but weren't close on numbers.  Moncrief was the next guy on their list, and they got him.

Lee was not a "settle for" or leftover.  He was part of plan A.

Hurns was a goner from the start, unless he was going to take a pay cut.

Not my opinion, it's what the club and others have reported.
