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.

There seems to be a lot of concern about talented players spending too much time on the bench. 
It just shouldn't be a concern. 
Hackett showed us last season that he'll adapt his gameplan, personnel, and mismatches from week to week and sometimes half to half to utilize talent. Maybe he didn't nail it every time, but there were a number of games when his shake ups of personnel and targets kept defenses on their heels. 
I think that is how this perceived "surplus of talent" at WR will gets its proper usage this season. 
Unless someone goes down of course - then there is no surplus of talent anymore.  Which is another reason they have Lee and Moncrief. 
Not to mention the fact that those two are your best bets at beating press man coverage from the X spot right now.
Cole isn't quite strong enough yet, same with Chark, and the other guys are undersized for the role. 

You can't look at the 6 players at WR and say "I don't want player A keeping player B off of the field." 
They all have varying skill sets and varying roles to play because of that - plus you need all of them in case of injury.
