Giving up on Ross now would be stupid.  The new offensive coordinator should be given the opportunity to see if he can become a bigger part of the offensive game plan.  Slants, sweeps, and screens.  There should be 5 manufactured touches a game.  Then, when you actually want to take a deep shot, it won't be the same damn route he ran the entire game.
Lots of people on here were willing to give up on Boyd after a down year 2.  Ditto Dennard after early injuries.  We can't give up on Ross and you would never get anywhere near that draft pick for him.  
Give him this year under ZT and see if he can become more of Tyreek Hill and less of Bennie Brazell....(stretching for a rhyme)

I am pretty sure that it is the new coaching staff who wants to move him.

Boyd showed up and played great with the same QBs and coaching staff as Ross had last year.

My guess is that the team wants to sign Boyd long term and extend AJ Green. Which means Ross gets a ticket out of town.
