He's still getting the targets. You can't get receptions if you don't get targeted. More targets gives a greater chance to have better statistics, which many receivers care about.

Also, a lot of people need to remember that for these players, this is their job. They want to make the most money at their job and provide for their families. It's not always about winning a championship for every player. And typically, a player expected to be a WR1 will be paid (much) higher than a WR2 regardless of whether they are on a good team or bad team.

Terrelle Pryor is going to be 28 years old next season and hasn't really struck it big yet because he failed as a QB for his first few years in the league. One would have to think he's looking to cash in and also that he will likely see his best financial offer from a team like the Browns who have no one else at WR.

So, who do you want as the vertical threat that is so clearly needed opposite AJ?  They were prepared to pay Jones, who I liked, roughly 8 million per year.  Do you think Pryor would command a lot more than that?  He's at or near his peak physically and he can, in my estimation, make a huge impact on this team.  As far as getting paid more in Cleveland, that remains to be seen.  I can tell you, though, that he might want to be on a team that has a shot at winning.
