Quote:I think the article explains my reasoning. He doesn't have the same explosion since the Achilles injury and it hurts him even more so as he wasn't all that fast and explosive to begin with. That coupled with his questionable locker room character makes me think that this team would be better off exploring other options. Obviously based on his all but non existent market I'm not the only one who feels that way.

The article explains the article's author's reasoning, but you're absolutely right by saying most people think he won't be worth (what he thinks he is) after his injury. D6 really said it best; no one is going to pay the guy his 5.3 million bucks per year that he averaged on his rookie contract.


What I'm trying to decide is who's worth more; an older WR who is more established and likely wants 4-6 million per year, or the younger WR coming off injury with the "higher ceiling" who's asking for comparable money.


Idk. It's hard to take one side of the fence or the other on this one. I like the idea of riding with what we have and drafting a guy for the slot, but I'm starting to wonder how important the veteran leadership is to the FO.
