Thomas possesses....

Versatility: He can play any of the spots. He knows the offense. He is certainly more well rounded than Tate and I have no idea what Scotty Washington is/will be this season. Also seems like Stanley Morgan is a special teams ace and isn't being looked at as the #4.

And, last year he had 21 targets... by far the most of his entire career. clearly the Bengals gave him a chance to be a WR and not just special teams and then resigned him.

Sooooo, who else is the better choice for WR #4 given the roster composition as of today? 

Tate may be more limited in where he can play, but Boyd is very versatile and I believe Higgins and Chase are (or can be) as well.
I'd think Tate can play either outside spot if called upon.
I'd prefer Trent Taylor in the backup slot role over Thomas. He's had 79 rec for 731 yards and 3 TDs across 3 seasons.
There are also other WRs to add in FA still who would be an improvement over Thomas.
Thomas is really just a ST guy in my eyes.
