The Jets would probably give us CJ for free and add a 6th round draft pick if Bengals just took his contract off their hands. 

He is not even averaging a catch a game on a $8 million a year contract for 3 years . 
 
Hurst is paid 3.5 million, less than half of Uzomah's contract and his #'s are

Hurst .........29 rec, 226 yds, 2 TD's....7.7 ypc
Uzomah.......6 rec,   39  yds, 0 TD's....6.5 ypc

Seems the Bengals did the right thing moving on and just maybe CJ was riding Joe Burrow and our WR's coat tail. 

Now without 3 stud WR's to draw the coverage away from him he seems merely average. 

Yet would take him back if he were much, much cheaper.
