How do you figure that? He's literally done next to nothing in his career. He's virtually the same player as Rivera just a whopping three inches taller than him. 

Seferian-Jenkins - 38 Games played with 24 starts - 171 targets / 105 receptions / 10.2 YPC / 10 TD's / 1070 receiving yards - Best year was 2017 with the Jets where he hauled in 357 yards on 50 catches with 3 TD's. He averaged 7.1 YPC. 

Rivera - 61 games played with 15 starts - 230 targets / 146 receptions / 9.7 YPC / 10 TD's / 1413 receiving yards - Best year was 2014 with the Raiders where he hauled in 534 yards on 58 catches with 4 TD's. He averaged 9.2 YPC. 

They're both "just guys". If anything you could say Rivera has more "dimension" in the pass game too. Before the injuries and coaching changes in OAK he had a decent rookie year in 2013 with over 400 yards receiving and 4 TD's which he followed that up with his better year in 2014. Tapered off a bit in 2015 and 2016 and then didn't play for us last year. 

And again, he hasn't been a [BLEEP] up off the field like Seferian-Jenkins....

^^^this. Not to mention Jenkins will probably cost a little bit more because he did have a decent year last year which is all the more reason i don't have any interest in adding this guy to the roster. Like you said, We basically have a guy who is the same player as him already on the roster and he doesn't have off the field issues.


And Rivera has a hot sister..... so there is that.
