Don't repeat the Reader/Rankins debacle. Keep the elite level player. We can go bargain bin/development/RD3-7 pick at WR3.
I can understand this for sure especially after Joe so adamantly wanting Tee back.

Catching with his body was always his problem and he seems to have turned the corner in this aspect in a good way this year.
He's got way more problems than just being a body catcher. He's currently 95th out of 95 qualifying WR's in PFF's WR rankings and has the third lowest catch % on the team.
I'm not saying cut the guy. He has great athletic traits and potentially develop more, but he's not close to being a WR2. Just has a bad feel for the position, like the times he runs flat out through a soft spot on the zone instead of of gearing down, settling in, and creating an easy throw for Burrow. Still a good back half of the roster option and ST's guy. Just not a WR2 or even a decent WR 3.

...no one? You're going to tell your probable WR triple-crown winner and sack leader to just stuff themselves?

Uh, JaMarr Chase definitely needs a big payday this offseason, and I'd say that Hendrickson has definitely outplayed his contract and deserves a bump.
