With that said...he's nothing more than a #4 going into next season. If they bump him to #2 and let Lafell walk and have Boyd in the slot...that's a signal that they're being cheap.
Disagree. It is the smart thing to do. He didn't have a chance to get vertical yesterday, which is what the X receiver would be doing. With Core's speed and length, it would free up the underneath.
I agree with the OP that he doesn't fight back to the ball, but it can be learned and he will be a significant contributor next year, IMHO. I would rather the dollars be spent elsewhere. With AJ and Eifert back together healthy, and Boyd up and coming, he only needs to be a deep threat and take the top off the defense to let the rest work underneath.
I also look forward to having a healthy Uzomah on the field the same time as Eifert, especially in the red zone. Of course, that would require a OC that knows how to use a two TE set.
