AJ is a special talent. Even if he has lost a step or two he’ll still be better than the majority of WR’s in the league.I’m assuming that 18 months of age and injuries could slow him down and that the injuries could linger. I’m singling out AJ because he makes 1/10th of the teams salary and that money could be better spent. I respect your opinion on keeping him. It’s a done deal so we can watch it play out. I do hope that you’re right and that I am wrong.
Also, AJ’s money didn’t stop them from adding to the OL. They could easily use Dalton’s money to do so, but they’re stubbornly standing pat with the guys they have. Why are you singling out AJ’s money here? This is how sports work these days. You get paid off your past. That’s why AJ and Geno make the most money on the team, and the guy who’s arguably our best player (Mixon) is making peanuts.
As for what would qualify as a successful season for AJ? I’d be happy 1k+ yds 14+ games. Having AJ on the field is going to open up other guys though, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see Boyd have a career year, or for Tee, Tate, and Ross to see their fair share of balls.
