No matter how good he is, he isnt putting up numbers to equal how good he is. Chase, Higgins, Mixon, CJ are our priorities, any speedy slot would work for us for much cheaper and make our offense better with a very good oline versus average oline and TB getting 3-5 receptions per game.
Yes.
826 yards/5 TD, 37 1st Downs, 71.3% catch rate, 0 drops during the regular season.
He caught 22 of his 27 targets on 3rd down for 16 1st downs. (59.3%)
The Bengals as a whole were 16th with 39.6% on 3rd down.
Without Boyd they become SIGNIFICANTLY worse on 3rd down, and they already weren't very good. Not even touching how he helps the other receivers by being on the field because other teams have to respect him in coverage.
The fact that you think Boyd isn't worth $10m but you think CJ (who made $6.1m) is a priority is the weird thing considering he's significantly worse than Boyd in pretty much all facets. He just had a career best season at age 28 and still couldn't reach 500 yards.
There's enough money to get a very good OL even if you don't get rid of Boyd. You're making it sound like an either-or and it's really not.
