It's a negative 3 mil on the cap, with a lot dead.

I dislike his deal even more now.
Dude better ball this year lol

He was a big part of Blake moving the sticks last season and I'm sure that factored into his deal. With a contract structured the way it is, I'm sure he knows what's expected of him and what it will take to earn the 3rd and 4th years. 

He'll be fine as long as he doesn't have another 6 game stretch of the dropsies. He played well once he got past that last year. 

Letting him walk after 2019 works out pretty well actually in terms of the big contracts coming up for #91, #20 and #44. It's also good timing for the younger WRs to be ready to take on more of Lee's role. Right now he's the only guy out there that can comfortably run the whole tree from every spot and he's the toughest blocker in the WR room. This Lee deal gives the second year guys and the rookie time to catch up to his level in those ways.

Fair points about Lee however
Reggie Williams was a really good run blocker too lol

I just think we'll see, this season, Cole and Westbrook's talent are too much to keep off the bench. And so next season it'd be tough to keep Lee as the 3rd best option for that ched... I mean they'd have to, but perhaps he's trade bait at that point? If, that is, my prediction comes true about Cole and Westbrook emerging and premier wide outs this season. Westbrook especially.
