There are receivers such as Mike Wallace and Brandon LaFell who are similar in talent, cheaper, and wouldn't cost us a compensatory pick.
It isn't so much about "veteran leadership" as it is about having a competent WR who doesn't have to learn the in's and out's of playing the position.
The Bengals have had very little success with rookie WR's outside of AJ Green.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
