It's not often HOF-caliber players walk away with time left (er...unless they're on the Lions), so the situation was just extremely fortunate for Marvin Jones and not so hot for us.
With that being said, I wouldn't have given him that much, but it also wouldn't surprise me if we spend close to $8 million and a few picks on #2 WRs before we find a guy who was as productive as Marvin Jones was here.
...because the Bengals don't take that position seriously enough. Mid-round picks don't cut it and they often take years to develop. Also, there are better guys than Denarius Moore and Dane Sanzenbacher in free agency, yet the Bengals don't seem to realize this.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
