I think you're dreaming if you think you're going to get a reliable 60+ catches out of a third WR that you can save more than a couple of million on.   I've spent too many years watching them sift through the NFL scrap heap to be up for that.  We don't have to throw out proven, productive pieces to make necessary improvements in the OL.  

We're going in circles, so I'll leave it at that.   

Tyler is very talented but we are not getting production. We could have the #1 fullback in the league on the bench, so what?

The Chiefs have 2 threats in Hill and Kelce - they dont pay any other receivers or RBs over $2M - they sign Thuney and Brown on the line.  The Rams are the same.

The Bengals have 2 threats in Chase and Higgins, we pay $11M to Mixon, why should we pay another $10M to a slot not named Hill or Kupp with only 4 targets a game?  It is impossible to pay every single skill position and also get quality linemen.

I would take Trent Taylor at slot if needed to upgrade that oline and beat this year's offense easily.
