7 catches in 4 starts before he got hurt. Not really eye popping numbers. I’m almost positive that we can draft or find a FA replacement to fill his role rather easily. If he’s set on leaving,… bye.

He got injured early in game four before he even got a target.  Those stats are really for 3 games.  Those 7 catches averaged 22 yards each and included 2 touchdowns.  Also keep in mind that the person throwing to him was a rookie quarterback in the very first three games of his career.  In 2020, he was being thrown passes from a quarterback who got traded in the off-season for a lowly sixth rounder.  Chark was wide open deep plenty of times but the quarterback couldn't take advantage.  In 2019, he was a pro-bowl alternate.  If he's healthy and has a good non-rookie quarterback throwing to him, I think there's a good chance that he returns to that form.  I want him back.
