I just can't fathom giving up a 3rd round pick for a guy for one year. He didn't have the best of year, but he had a way better year than the majority of our WR's from the past. In my eyes, the only way giving up a 3rd and walking away from the player after year one, is he was just bad and didn't produce. In this case, he did produce. Yes he had some drops, ran some wrong routes. But we are talking about a guy that has been out of football for a few years.

I'm not clamoring he needs a big contract, but the franchise tag is perfect for him. Gives him another year to prove what he can do.

Instead we give it to Allen, someone who has proved he can play the part.
