Am I the only one who thinks it's kinda stupid to sign this dude to a 1 year deal?
I would love to have him, but I would hope the Bengals insist on a minimum of 2 years, and preferably 3.
Renting a stud WR for a year isn't going to put this team over the hump in 2021. Will it make us better? Sure. But I still think we need to build out with the future in mind (year 3, 4, 5 of Joe's rookie deal).
I really hope we consider adding years on to our offer. I know that's what his agent contacted us with, but if we're competing with the Giants, who are offering multiple years, then I'm not sure why us doing the same would put us at a disadvantage.
This guy is a beast, would be great to lock him up for a few years. I just think it would suck to be right back in the same boat next year, still needing another WR. And if signing him at 1 year removes WR off our draft board in the early rounds then it seems that hole would be inevitable in 2022.
