2.) How is Boyd overpriced he is a 1000 yard caliber WR who is being paid 10 Million a year? That's a bargain if anything!
Do we really care if someone is a certain caliber? Or care mainly what they will actually contribute?
I'd argue $10 mill for a WR3 is overpriced.
If he's a 1000-yard WR (which I know he is), he probably should be playing as a WR1 or WR2 for some other team.
Is it worth paying $10 mill for ~800 yards receiving in a season?
Or maybe a better question - If it came down to not being able to solidify the starting offense with all veteran signings, would you rather:
1) Keep Boyd and draft an OL on Day 2 to start, or...
2) Move on from Boyd, sign an OL starter with that $7.1 mill saved, and draft a WR on Day 2?
I have more confidence in the Bengals drafting a WR on Day 2 and getting WR3-level production from him as a rookie than I do them drafting an OL on Day 2 and them being a solid-or-better starter as a rookie. Heck, I'd think a Day 2 WR would have a better shot at being a successful starter as a rookie than just about any other position. The only other exceptions I could think of would be RB or TE.
