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.
I really liked CJ too.
It's the price that was the issue.
Neither one of these guys are world beaters but to act like Hurst isn't at least a good stop gap is absurd.
In fact, if Hurst plays well all season I hope he gives them a team friendly deal for the resurgence of his career.
