I think he'd be a nice replacement for Marvin Jones and would come at the price of a true number 2 wr as opposed to a low end 1.  He'd provide the outside burner that MLJ was opposite Green.  

I know he's had some disappointing years, but his qbs have been questionable at best and he's generally had the expectations of a number 1 wr.  Here, he'd reap the benefit of playing with a legit qb and be covered up by AJ Green and Eifert as a 3rd option.  

It's all a question of what kind of money he could get.  If it's reasonable, then curb-stomp those tires.

With Sanu possibly getting $7 million per year and MLJ getting $8 million per year, this would seem unlikely, but I would absolutely pursue this for $5 million per year plus incentives that could take it to $6.5 million per year.  

He is still a burner, but has suffered from bad QB play...his game is vertical speed and he has two of the worst downfield QBs in the game (Tannehill and Bridgewater).  I would love this option.  Perfect X receiver in this offense.  Burkhead to slot and draft a WR to develop.  

I wanted him badly years ago when he took big money to go to Miami.  I think he would also be playing with a bit of a chip on his shoulder.
